Lyrics:

It's all going to pot

Whether we like it or not

As far as I can tell

The world's gone to hell

And we're sure gonna miss it a lot

All of the whiskey in Lynchburg, Tenn.

Just couldn't hit the spot

I've got $100 bill

You can keep them pills, friend

'Cause it's all going to pot.

Hags and the Red Headed Stranger are at it again: Their new collaborative album Django and Jimmie hits the racks June 2, and the first single, "It's All Going to Pot," made a 4/20 premiere courtesy of

Team Coco

. The track is a nugget of the kind of rockin' outlaw country that never goes out of style, and it's a bit of a message song wrapped up in a sly package. "It's all goin' to pot/Whether we like it or not/Best I can tell/The world's goin' to hell/And we're sure gonna miss it a lot," Haggard and Nelson sing as they pass what might or might not be a jazz cigarette around the studio. It may not be a cure for the mountain of problems our world faces today, but their wry humor and wordplay makes them a little less overwhelming.
