Rolling Stoned
Upchurch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Church

Sometimes I get stoned in my backyard
Lay off in the tall grass, saw my views of stars
I think about nothing, get to clear my thoughts
From all the thunder and lightning so I feel a spark
Sometimes I get higher than the Colorado rockies
Hoping that the county sheriff dont stop me

Like Charlie Daniels said, you shouldn't smoke that dope
But damn it I can't help, I love rolling stoned

With the windows rolled down and the radio up
Sweet tea full in my solo cup
Listenin' to the hummin' of the 44's
Soundin' like a concert out my beat-up door
Arm hanging out the window, smiling away
Smoking on some grown where the cattle graze
Charlie Daniels said you shouldn't go smoke that dope
But hell, I can't help, I love rolling stoned
Yeah, I love rolling stoned

Smoke rolling 'round the cab with the dome light on
Lookin' like a stage 4 Lynyrd Skynyrd song
Hangin' out with Mary Jane but she's makin' the time go slow
Makin' memories with my buddies through the thick green smoke
Puff passing out the windows of my old Tahoe
Lifted so damn high I can't come down
Drivin' under the speed limit in my town

With the windows rolled down and the radio up
Sweet tea full in my solo cup
Listenin' to the hummin' of the 44's
Soundin' like a concert out my beat-up door
Arm hanging out the window, smiling away
Smoking on some grown where the cattle graze
Charlie Daniels said you shouldn't go smoke that dope
But hell, I can't help, I love rolling stoned
Yeah, I love rolling stoned

There ain't nothing like the swaying of a windy back road
Baked out like a barn full of tobacco
I know Jesus drank wine but I bet he wouldn't mind
Sittin' with me in my Chevy, passin' 'round a few times

With the windows rolled down, the radio up
Sweet tea full in our solo cups
Listenin' to the hummin' of the 44's
Like a concert out my beat-up door
Arm hanging out the window, smiling away
Smoking on some grown where the cattle graze
Ol' Willie said there's nothing wrong with smokin' dope

So light one up, and let's go rolling stoned
So pass me that, and let's start rolling stoned
