My wife is a big Willie Nelson fan. I recently bought her the new 4 disc set called "One Hell of a Ride." There are 100 songs on it, so of course there were some that we had never heard, but this one, titled "The Troublemaker," blew us away:
I could tell the moment that I saw him He was nothing but the troublemaking kind His hair was much too long And his motley group of friends Had nothing but rebellion on their mind.
He's rejected the establishment completely And I know for sure he's never held a job. He just goes from town to town Stirring up the young folks 'Til they're nothing but a disrespectful mob.
And I know for sure he's never joined the army And served His country like we all have done. He'd rather wear his sandals and his flowers While others wage the war that must be won.
They arrested him last week and found him guilty And sentenced him to die but that's no great loss. Friday they will take him to a place called Calvary And hang that troublemaker to a cross.
(The fact that my wife is an ex-death penalty appeals lawyer added a lot to the impact of this song.)
