Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke spent Independence Day at Willie Nelson’s July 4th picnic and concert in Austin, Texas.

The Texas congressman got on stage with Nelson and performed a few marijuana-themed songs, starting with “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die,” reported The Dallas Morning News. He then followed up the act with a rendition of “It’s All Going To Pot” and continued on with a few more tunes.

The candidate for U.S. Senate formally played in a pop punk band in the 1990s, telling Rolling Stone “I wasn’t very good at it.”

Both Nelson and O’Rourke are outspoken advocates for marijuana legalization.
