Toby Keith tells the story behind the Smoking Weed With Willie Nelson bus song

It happened in Las Vegas on a Saturday night. I was in town laid over and had a show the next night and went out to hit the casinos at about six o’ clock. Somebody said that Willie Nelson was playing the Hacienda at 8. And I was invited to Charles Barkley’s birthday party at midnight at the Rum Jungle.

Willie spotted me and said come up here, and we did a couple of songs together. Later, on the bus he rolled up one. And you could put all the weed I smoked in my life in a coffee cup. It never was my high, you know. But you know, he’s famous for that, and just to say you did it with Willie is kind of cool. … It knocked me out. I missed Charles’ birthday party and everything.

Was he mad at you?

Nah, he understood. It was just one of those things.

And you got a song out of it.

Yeah, there you go.

    I love this song!!! It’s so funny that Scott’s guitar “looks” like Trigger ;-)

    My song would be” I’ll probably smoke weed with Willie again!”
