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.
