Willie

One night, many moons ago, I was nursing a heartache with Jack Daniels and a few of my friends. As the evening passed and the Jack and Coke settled in, my friends and I sat in my bedroom while I complained of my broken heart. As I made a few statements and reminisced a few memories, my friend Lisa raised her glass high in the air and shouted, "I'll drink to that!" We all cheered to her toast and I grabbed my guitar.

Within a few moments "Willie" was made. What has now become my most requested tune, and what is now known as a fun, rowdy drinking song spawned from one broken heart, one bottle of Jack, and three friends on my bed crying in our drinks. I'll drink to that!
