[Verse 1]
F Bb F
When I was a youngin', well, I didn't need nothin'
Bb F C
'Cept the food in my stomach, and the clothes on my back
F Bb F
Now I'm a grown man, well, a practically grown man
Bb F C F
And I'm ridden with vices, I'm a train off its tracks
[Chorus]
Bb F
Well, I'll smoke myself silly, I'll smoke myself dead
C Dm
I'll smoke myself straight up and out my own head
Bb F Dm
I'll smoke 'till I practically can't smoke again
C
But you bet your bottom dollar, that if you came a-hollerin'
F
Well, I'd holler right back with a joint in my hand
[Verse 2]
F Bb F
I wasn't made to move a mile a minute
Bb F C
If the world could just quit it, well, it'd mean the damn world
F Bb* F*
I'm tryin' my best, but I can't seem to try
Bb* F* C F
So I guess I just lied, shit, I need me a toke
[Chorus]
Bb Bb* F
Well, I'll smoke myself silly, I'll smoke myself dead
C Dm
I'll smoke myself straight up and out my own head
Bb F Dm
I'll smoke 'till I practically can't smoke again
C
But you bet your bottom dollar, that if you came a-hollerin'
F
Well, I'd holler right back with a joint in my hand
[Verse 3]
F* Bb* F*
Well, I'm helpless and hopeless, I'm a do-nothin' deadbeat
Bb* F* C*
And it's frozen in concrete, there ain't nothin' I can do
F Bb* F*
At least that's what I'm told, and so, when I grow old
Bb* F* C
I'll a-smoke myself silly while a-diggin' my grave
