Weed and Whiskey
Raelyn Nelson Band Lyrics

Are you with me? With me?

I don't need no politician
Making medical decisions
I don't need no shrink to try and trick me, trick me
I don't need a big prescription
I don't need the cops' suspicion
I don't need your judgment or your pity

Are you with me? With me?
All we need is a little bit of weed and whiskey whiskey
All those pills can't cure my ills or fix me, fix me!
Take a puff and sip with me!
All we need is a little bit of weed and whiskey

I don't need an intervention
I don't need a court's decision
Why it's illegal is a mystery, mystery
Time to act without division
Time to end this prohibition
And take a lesson from our history

Are you with me? With me?
All we need is a little bit of weed and whiskey whiskey
All those pills can't cure my ills or fix me, fix me!
Take a puff and sip with me!
All we need is a little bit of weed and whiskey whiskey
Are you with me? With me?
All we need is a little bit of weed and whiskey whiskey
All those pills can't cure my ills or fix me, fix me!

Take a puff and sip with me, some day soon they all will see
All we need is a little bit of weed and whiskey

The Raelyn Nelson Band's song "Weed and Whiskey" is a rebellious anthem that rejects society's conventions and standards of behavior. The song begins by stating that the singer does not need the approval of religious figures or the judgement of others. The lyrics then turn to criticize the pharmaceutical industry, political and legal systems, and even mental health professionals. In contrast, the only things that the singer needs to cope with life's struggles are "a little bit of weed and whiskey."

The song's message is about individuals taking control of their own lives and rejecting societal norms that seek to control them. The lyrics encourage listeners to seek their own path and not rely on external sources of authority for guidance. The use of "weed and whiskey" as coping mechanisms can be seen as a rebellious and nonconformist alternative to traditional forms of self-care, such as therapy or medication. Ultimately, the song is about personal freedom and the ability to find one's own ways of coping with life's challenges.

I don't need a preachers blessing
I don't require the approval of religious leaders

I don't need to be confessing
I don't need to reveal my faults to others

They're casting stones but they all miss me, miss me
They're criticizing me without fully understanding me

I don't need your second guessing
I don't need your doubts and suspicions about me

I don't see the point in stressing
I don't believe in being overly concerned about things I can't change

About ideas that don't fit me
About beliefs and expectations that don't align with my values

All we need is a little bit of weed and whiskey whiskey
Using substances like marijuana and alcohol can help us relax and feel better

All those pills can't cure my ills or fix me, fix me!
Prescription drugs aren't always effective at healing or improving my condition

Take a puff and sip with me!
Let's enjoy smoking and drinking together

I don't need no politician
I don't need politicians making decisions for me

Making medical decisions
Dictating what medical treatments I can and cannot use

I don't need no shrink to try and trick me, trick me
I don't need psychologists trying to manipulate or deceive me

I don't need a big prescription
I don't need to rely on large amounts of medication

I don't need the cops' suspicion
I don't need law enforcement looking at me with suspicion

I don't need your judgment or your pity
I don't need you to either criticize or feel sorry for me

Why it's illegal is a mystery, mystery
It's unclear why marijuana is still illegal in some places

Time to act without division
We should work together to make positive changes

Time to end this prohibition
It's time to legalize marijuana and end the ban on its use

And take a lesson from our history
We should learn from past mistakes and injustices

All we need is a little bit of weed and whiskey whiskey
Using substances like marijuana and alcohol can help us relax and feel better

Some day soon they all will see
I believe that eventually people will realize the benefits of marijuana use
