There was a man that devised a plan to keep our plans alive When the news said "this country's dead", but his music still survived When there's a water gate and we're all hating, the rest seems kinda silly Don't y'all think it's time to stop pickin' on Willie? Now this silent country step-up fare they dragged on forever Big old live-wire where other's died from some undercover endeavor On the world stage the crowd raged when the team stopped Willie Don't y'all think it's time to stop pickin' on Willie? Stop pickin' on Willie Can't you see a hero in disguise? Stop pickin' on Willie Let your maker be the judge through his own eyes Let your maker be the judge through his own eyes [?] Some flag burning, commie preacher [?] demonstrated don't have to pay a dime Saddam Hussein lost his brain and the whole world tried to kill him Don't y'all think it's time to stop pickin' on Willie? Stop pickin' on Willie Can't you see a hero in disguise? Stop pickin' on Willie Let your maker be the judge through his own eyes Let your maker be the judge through his own eyes
