Biography:
Gary Allan Herzberg (born December 5, 1967) is an American country music artist, known professionally as Gary Allan.
Allan was born and raised in La Mirada, California, to Harley and Mary Herzberg. To ensure that the family would focus on music, Allan's mother insisted that the family's guitars would always remain visible in the home. At age thirteen, Allan began playing in honky tonks with his father. Two years later, he was offered his first recording contract, from A&M Records, but rejected the deal.

[ VERSE 1 ]
D
I was lost in trouble and strife
G
I heard a voice and it changed my life
D
Now it's a brand new day
A
and I ain't afraid to say
D
You're not alone when you're down and out
G
and I think you know who I'm talking about
When I don't know how I'll get through
A G A D
I ask myself What would Willie do?
[ CHORUS 1 ]
D
What would Willie do, well he'd travel so far
G
with nothing but a song and his old guitar
D
And a tour bus and some semi-trucks,
A
Thirty crew men and a little bit of luck
A
Well he loves all the people, the ugly and the randy
G
if you don't believe me take a look at the family
D
and they'll tell you that it's true
G A D
When skies are gray what would Willie do?
[ VERSE 2 ]
D
Well long ago he came unto us,
G
his words were simple but they went right through us
D
and the whole world sang along
A
but then they didn't want to hear his songs.
D
He was gone and we thought we'd lost him
G
but he grew his hair and he moved to Austin,
D
and all of the people smiled,
they came to hear him sing from miles.
G A
Like a miracle all those rednecks and hippies
D G
from New York city down to Mississippi
D
stood together and raised a brew
A G A
When it's all gone wrong what would Willie do?
[ BRIDGE ]
D
You know sometimes I wonder when I ain't getting nowhere
G
just what would old Willie do when it all gets too much to bear
D
I can see him on his lonely old tour bus
A
he's got problems just like any of us
D
Well he'd just take a deep breath and then he'd let it all go,
G
then he'd take another deep breath and let it all go,
D A
and he'd take another deep breath and he'd hold it.
D
Aaah and I'd bet he'd feel hungry in a way that seems strange,
G
yeah hungry for all the things that he just can't change.
D
Like the time he passed out in his own bedroom
A
and his wife sewed him up the sheets and beat him with a broom and he forgave her
D
And you think that's rough
G
well then the IRS came and they took away all of his stuff
D
They took his golf course, his recording studio
A
and he just went out and did another show
G A
So when it's all coming down on you
G G A D
better ask yourself what would Willie do?
[ CHORUS 2 ]
D
What would Willie do well he'd take a little time
G
and talk to old Rooster as he'd drive on down the line
D
and there's millions down that road
A
and with a word he's gonna lighten their load
D
He loves all the people no matter their races,
G
hell he even had a hit country song with Julio Iglesias
D
and that ain't easy to do
A G
So when it's all too much what would Willie
D A
when the game gets tough what would Willie
D G A D
when they call your bluff what would Willie do?
D
I was lost in trouble and strife
G
I heard a voice and it changed my life
D
Now it's a brand new day
A
