Smoking dope and rock n' roll The only life I ever know Not one for doing what I'm told Smoking dope and rock n' roll I've been walking down a thin line What's a shame and what's a sin Now I'm finally making up my mind This ain't no trouble that I'm in So, baby take me for who I am Baby, you don't understand Just because I take the time to unwind Don't make me half a man Smoking dope and rock n' roll Only life I ever know Packing bowls and rocking shows Smoking dope and rock n' roll Ain't no better way to go to hell Ain't no nothing before I fail If this is evil then cast a spell If this ain't happiness then I can't tell Smoking dope and rock n' roll Rockin' bowls and packet shows Ain't known for doing what I'm told Smoking dope and rock n' roll I wouldn't wish this on my firstborn child But if he's just like daddy he will make me smile And should he find himself a guitar in his hand I hope my boy will join the band Smoking dope and rock n' roll Paying dues by doing don'ts Smoking dope and rock n' roll These two things will never get old Smoking dope and rock n' roll Mom and dad don't need to know I guess now my cover's blown Smoking dope and rock n' roll Just sound better when I'm stoned Smoking dope and rock n' roll
