It's All Going to Pot Songtext
von Willie Nelson & Merle Haggard

Well, it′s all going to pot
Whether we like it or not
Best I can tell
The world's gone to hell
And we′re sure gonna miss it a lot

All of the whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee
Just couldn't hit the spot
I gotta hundred dollar bill, friend
You can keep your pills
Cause it's all going to pot

That cackle-bobble-head-in-a-box
Must think I′m dumb as a rock
Readin′ daily news
While I'm kickin′ off my shoes
It's scarin′ me outta my socks


The Red Headed Stranger I'm not
But buddy, let me tell you what
If ysk ol′ Will
He'll tell ya here's the deal
Friends, it′s all goin′ to pot

Well, it's all going to pot
Whether we like it or not
Best I can tell
The world′s gone to hell
And we're all gonna miss it a lot

All the whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee
Just couldn′t hit the spot
I gotta hundred dollar bill
You can keep your pills, friend
Cause it's all goin′ to pot

Well I thought I had found me a girl
Sweetest little thing in the world
But all my jokes went up in smoke
When I caught her makin eyes at Merle


He said, sweet little honey
With her eye on your money
She's gonna take every penny you got
I said she's never gonna get it
Cause I′ve already spent it
Merle, It′s all goin' to pot

It′s all going to pot
Whether we like it or not
Best I can tell
The world's gone to hell
And we′re all gonna miss it a lot

All the whiskey in Lynchburg, Tennessee
Just couldn't hit the spot
I gotta hundred dollar bill
You can keep your pills, friend
It′s all going to pot
I gotta hundred dollar bill
You can keep your pills, friend
Cause it's all goin' to pot
