The country music icon also unveiled the election-themed anthem “Vote ‘Em Out” at the Senate hopeful’s event.

Country music legend Willie Nelson unveiled his new election-themed song “Vote ’Em Out” on Saturday at a massive rally for Democratic Senate hopeful Beto O’Rourke in Austin, Texas.

Nelson performed his musical call to action at Austin’s Auditorium Shores after singing several of his hits, including “On The Road Again” with O’Rourke, who seeks to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the November midterm elections.

Nelson, who announced his endorsement of O’Rourke earlier this month, belted out the lyrics to “Vote ’Em Out,” which stresses the importance of Americans’ right to vote.

“The biggest gun we’ve got is called the ballot box/ If you don’t like who’s in there, vote ’em out,” the song says.

The rally was attended by roughly 55,000 people, Auditorium Shores told the Austin American-Statesman.

It wasn’t the first time O’Rourke has performed with Nelson. He joined the music legend on stage a couple months ago at the singer’s annual Fourth of July Picnic in Austin.

That old stoner is still touring? He should have smoke less and saved more.

He's still playing that same old guitar. Look at the hole he's worn into it.

Anyway. I, for one, have concluded that if voting made a darned bit of difference in the sorry state of affairs we're in, it'd be illegal. It's rigged.

Catchy little song, anyway.

Sure. I'll bet he's broke. Just look at that beat up old guitar he has. If he had any money, he would have a nice shiny new one.

These ole rockers seem to be indestructible. His Royal Bobness is still touring.
If they make it to 30, seems the music business can be good for you.
And, being artists, they're mostly commie traitors.
'Cept for them good ole boys, of course! They not 'artists'!
