High Times

(album: Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real - 2017)

I'm gonna vote
For the funniest frog
With the loudest croak
On the highest log
I'm gonna vote
For the Bud Light frog
The High Life frog
The highlight frog
I'm gonna pay
For the right to drink
For the right to smoke
And the right to sink
I'm gonna pay
For my TV dream
For my movie scene
For my beauty queen

I'm gonna live for high times
And easy rhymes, into the night
Saving nickels, spending dimes
Dodging cops and dodging fines

I'm gonna fight
For a cigarette light
For a football night
For a glory bite
I'm gonna die
For a paper note
For banker's note
For a note she wrote
I'm gonna die for CNN
Believing in the dream I'm in
I'm gonna die for Fox News
For skewed views
And twisted spews

I'm gonna live for high times
And easy rhymes, into the night
Saving nickels, spending dimes
Dodging cops and dodging fines

I'm gonna sing
For equal pay
For the right to say
The things I say
I'm gonna sing
For solid ground
For what I lost
And what I found
I'm gonna run
Towards something real
Hide the truth
And how I feel
I'm gonna run
For president
Vote for me
I'm heaven sent

I'm gonna live for high times
And easy rhymes, into the night
Saving nickels, spending dimes
Dodging cops and dodging fines
I'm gonna live for high times
And easy rhymes, into the night
Saving nickels, spending dimes
Dodging cops and dodging fines

I'm gonna live for high times
