[00:24.31]She hates her job, loves her kids
[00:30.25]Bored with her hu****and
[00:32.44]Tired of the same old list of things to do
[00:38.56]So when the to-dos have all been done
[00:42.69]She sits down at the kitchen table
[00:47.50]Rolls herself a fat one
[00:49.87]
[00:54.31]Smoke so sweet fills the air
[01:00.06]She maybe ought to crack a window
[01:02.37]But all she can do is stare at the paint
[01:08.69]That's been peeling off the walls
[01:13.31]A couple of tokes and her troubles
[01:17.31]Don't seem all that tall
[01:19.38]
[01:20.87]You know life will let you down
[01:25.44]Love will leave you lonely
[01:29.50]Sometimes the only way to get by
[01:34.26]Is to get high
[01:35.77]
[01:40.26]She laughs out loud at who she used to be
[01:45.70]A girl who'da looked down on
[01:48.58]A woman smoking **** in her kitchen
[01:54.20]Sometimes she misses them younger days
[01:58.58]Seeing the world through rose colored glasses
[02:03.33]Instead of this purple haze
[02:05.51]
[02:06.85]You know life will let you down
[02:11.42]Love will leave you lonely
[02:15.48]Sometimes the only way to get by
[02:20.17]Is to get high
[02:21.61]
[02:31.43]So she tucks her kids in at night
[02:37.50]Kisses her hu****and turns off the light
[02:41.88]And talks to God
[02:44.88]Says Lord help me accept what I can't change
[02:50.50]But until I learn to do that
[02:54.69]Thanks for the Mary Jane
[02:56.82]
[02:58.37]You know life will let you down
[03:02.88]Love's gonna leave you lonely
[03:06.94]Sometimes the only way to get by
[03:11.75]Is to get high
[03:14.69]Yeah, sometimes the only way to get by
[03:19.75]Is to get high
