Description

Willie’s Joints

As a small town kid seeing Willie Nelson live in concert, is a religious experience. Benjamin, the man behind Son of Fortune was in Nashville Tennessee in 2019 and was lucky enough to get into the Bridgestone Arena to hear the legend live.

“A room full of love, electricity in the air, I thought about you lord”, Son of Fortune sings in the song “Willie’s Joints”. After the show, Benjamin realised that the only way to become human again after such a high, was to find the nearest honky tonk and drink bourbon and beer; and shot after shot he slowly became more and more human. The day after he woke up in a cheep hostel on 1st avenue north, and with pain in his hair he went downstairs to hang out with freaks, artist’s and blue collar workers who lived at the hostel. Inspired by the night before and the people around him, the lyrics flowed down on his note pad.

Willie’s Joints

Words: Benjamin Petersen
Music: Benjamin Petersen

A shot of vodka and football on the tele
This is how my Sunday started
I heard Willie sing his heart out
the night before
Still riding that cloud

A black man wearing boots and a cowboy hat
Gave me a beer and told me
he just left his wife
Two years of marriage
down the drain

Sometimes love is not enough
To keep you going
Sometimes all you need is one of Willie’s songs
To set you free

An electrician, a musician
sharing stories
And passing a joint
Life is good we’re alive and kicking
And there’s work in town

Particle Kid made me cry at the Bridgestone
It was a spiritual experience
A room full of love
Electricity in the air
“I thought about You, Lord”

Sometimes love is not enough
To keep you going
Sometimes all you need is one of Willie’s joints
To set you free
