LYRICS:
Me and the boys, we was playin’ a show down Colorado way
And when we realized they had legalized, well we thought we'd investigate
Cuz there ain’t nuthin’ better than a little adventure just to shore up band morale
At least till the singer does a few too many milligrams of mis-adventurin' somehow
We were met with a kid, he was born for his job, highly skilled and desirable
Who up till now the world had found to be totally unhireable
He knew the strengths and the names, every hybrid strain that modern science has allowed
He said you don’t have to take it, you don’t even gotta smoke it cuz they make it for ya edible now
I want that old familiar drunken feelin’
Washing over me this evening
I wanna be embraced like an old friend
Heart is racin’, mind is reelin’
That old familiar drunken feelin’
Something I can count on till the end
It's only noon, I'll be fine, showtime ain't till nine, I chewed and I told myself
But as the day wore on and on and on it all went rapidly to hell
I was high as a kite and it was freezin’ outside, I was terrified of people, too
Between shiverin' in the van and hidin' in the can cuz there wasn’t any dressing room
Playin’ a gig was the very last thing that I wanted on my mind
And the best advice that I got all night's when old Skinner did opine
He said don't try to fight it, yeah, you’re just gonna have to try to ride the rank bastard out
So, with that bit of wisdom and herbal terrorism, onstage I was freakin’ out
I want that old familiar drunken feelin’
Washing over me this evening
I wanna be embraced like an old friend
Heart is racin’, mind is reelin’
That old familiar drunken feelin’
Something I can count on till the end
I steeled myself and said, ‘what the hell?’ and proceeded to forget all the lines
It was endless and seemed like a fever dream, western hats and neon signs
So, in a desperate position, made the desperate decision that I'd handle this the cowboy way
Which is to pour enough whiskey on the problem till it catches on fire or it goes away
Shot after shot, just like I was taught, suppressed my feelings by all means
It was a mess I guess, but nonetheless a mess fairly well known to me
So, when the second set came, I was back on my game and here's what I'd recommend
If you think you're gonna die cuz you’re way too freakin' high just drown it all in Pendleton
I want that old familiar drunken feelin’
Washing over me this evening
I wanna be embraced like an old friend
Heart is racin’, mind is reelin’
That old familiar drunken feelin’
Something I can count on till the end

Ian Tyson was a true Canadian Poet. We are fortunate to have another in Corb Lund. And, on what many might consider a minor point, I appreciate his ability to enunciate. Every word comes through, and that's no longer typical in the music industry. .
Corb Lund like a fine wine. Getting better with age.
Did you catch the cover of "Age Like Wine" he did a while back?
Gotta love some real country music!
I appreciate that you posted this song today while you're in Colorado! Welcome to Colorado Springs, I'll be seeing you tonight at Lulu's Downtown!!
Haha Love the song 😂. I remember pot brownies back in the day but the new edibles are just crazy. Love your music from a Canadian living in Kansas.😊
Buds! I like this. A lot. It's less than a week from May Long and this song will be played!
great tune.......I have this album on shuffle to and from work. Safe travels
I said this on another one of his videos but I usually don't like country but I like this guy! he's good and it's good country music! reminds me of the 90's!!
huh, I didn't expect to see a new video of the song I was looking for, but I'll take it. Love the song Corb, keep at it. That last album was exceptional!
Love the new album! Been trying to sing em by a fire! Need a tab for el viejo!

[Intro]
G A D G D
[Verse 1]
G
El Viejo, friend of mine
A D
I think you left us just in time
G
They're outta vodka, no more wine
A D
I think you left us just in time
[Verse 2]
G
You know I hate to see you leave
A D
But it ain't no secret you believed
G
You was meant for earlier days
A D
Wilder times and a freer range
[Verse 3]
G
So old compadre Lord I know
A D
You was likely glad to go
G
I hope it's easier in time
A D
For those of us you left behind
[Chorus 1]
N.C.
They ain't dealin' blackjack
D G
down at Stockmen's in Nevada anymore
A
And they'd wanna pay you six to five
D
and that ain't hardly worth playin' for
D
All's I seen was slot machines
G
from wall to wall the whole casino floor
A
Nobody hittin' seventeen
D
playin' against the dealer that's for sure
[Interlude]
D G A D
[Verse 4]
G
Mi amigo, mon ami
A D
Elko blues, indeed
G
You know we did the best we could
A D
But the shine was off the wood
[Verse 5]
G
We played up most all of your songs
A D
But with you and Don and Baxter gone
G
That sure leaves some boots to fill
A D
And I'm not sure we ever will
[Verse 6]
G
But on a slightly brighter side
A D
The Outside Circle guys
G
They're still tearin' up the Star
A D
And Capriola's ain't that far
[Chorus 2]
N.C.
They ain't dealin' blackjack
D G
down at Stockmen's in Nevada anymore
A
And they'd wanna pay you six to five
D
and that ain't hardly worth playin' for
D
All's I seen was slot machines
G
from wall to wall the whole casino floor
A
Nobody hittin' seventeen
D
and worse yet the Commercial's closed its doors
A
Nobody hittin' seventeen
D G A D G D
playin' against the dealer rest assured
[Outro]
N.C. G
El Viejo, friend of mine
A D
I think you left us just in time
Love this song ❤ love the new album ❤️🎶🥰
Perfect for the person who quit drinking for smoking, or is it quit smoking for drinking? Por que no los dos?
I got your name off a tee shirt worn by Chase Rice in a recent video clip on UTube. Thanks for the laugh! I think your musical genre is more folk than country, though😂 💙! enjoyed it immensely. May I ask for 🙏🏽 for myself and my 🐕🦺 as we both continue to fight for life? Thanks in advance either way.❤ "El Viejo" (for Ian & all of us ).
