Couldn't Get High

(album: Live & Direct Acoustic Roots - 2004)

I've got
New sunglasses
And i've got
Backstage passes
For y'all
Girls with fine asses
Yeah oh yeah
Sunshine, girlies and money
What it takes to get me on a roll
Some call me mr. soul

I went to this party
The other night
Said i want to feel
What my brain had felt like
I grabbed my bottle
And i start drinking wine
I thought pretty soon
That i would be
Feeling fine
But no i couldn't get high
Oh no
And then I couldn't get high
Oh no
And then i
Dont know why

Threw down the bottle
And then i whipped out my pipe
Stuffed it full of goodies
And then i gave that shit a light
I huffed and i puffed
Good lord i
Smoked and i choked
I smoking for so long
Until my heart was nearly broke
Because i couldn't get high
Oh no
And then i
Couldn't get high
Oh no
And then i
Try i tried

I threw down the pipe
Just as pissed as i could be
Gobbled down a mound of some
Lsd
I waited and i waited
For my body to zing
I waited i waited
But not a fucking thing
Because i couldn't get high
Oh no
And then i
Couldn't get high
Oh no
Lord i
Dont know why
