get high

She hates her job, loves her kids
Bored with her hu****and
Tired of the same old list of things to do
So when the to-dos have all been done
She sits down at the kitchen table
Rolls herself a fat one

Smoke so sweet fills the air
She maybe ought to crack a window
But all she can do is stare at the paint
Thats been peeling off the walls
A couple of tokes and her troubles
Dont seem all that tall

You know life will let you down
Love will leave you lonely
Sometimes the only way to get by
Is to get high

She laughs out loud at who she used to be
A girl whoda looked down on
A woman smoking **** in her kitchen
Sometimes she misses them younger days
Seeing the world through rose colored glasses
Instead of this purple haze

You know life will let you down
Love will leave you lonely
Sometimes the only way to get by
Is to get high

So she tucks her kids in at night
Kisses her hu****and turns off the light
And talks to God
Says Lord help me accept what I cant change
But until I learn to do that
Thanks for the Mary Jane

You know life will let you down
Loves gonna leave you lonely
Sometimes the only way to get by
Is to get high
Yeah, sometimes the only way to get by
Is to get high
