Green hickorywood will make your fireplace hot
|
You try to explain to a Berkeley cop
|
He choked with with my peats and shot me down for pot
|
I said, man I'm clean, I'm just about to blow my top
|
They finally took me in for possession of...
|
Love and my pocket knife
|
But I swear to God I was only high on life
|
High on livin', high on lovin'
|
High on livin', high on lovin,' and lovin' and forgivin'
|
I have no suit lapel in which to hold my flower
|
I said Lord, that's okay man
|
It's just the lateness of the hour
|
Well I be clean when heaven lets if shower
|
They finally took me in for possession of...
|
Love and my pocket knife
|
But I swear to God I was only high on life
|
High on livin', high on lovin'
|
High on livin', high on lovin,' and lovin' and forgivin'
|
High on livin', high on lovin'
|
High on livin', high on lovin,' and lovin' and forgivin'
|
High on livin', high on lovin'
|
High on livin', high on lovin,' and lovin' and forgivin'
|
