So you raise another glass
Looking for a different space,
I was leaning on the grass
Dreaming of a sunnier day,
Oh it never came,
How could it have baby
Where the present meets the past
It’s hard to be more than we’ve seen
Your daddy was a drinker
He just kept drinking
Til the jokes he was thinking sounded true,
Your mama was a thinker
She just wasn’t thinking
On the day that she looked at him and said I do,
Cause I will always
I will always
I will always
I will always
Try to get my life together,
I guess we always
Guess we always knew,
That it would be stormy weather
CHORUS :
This is how we want you to get high
The way that we showed you
The way that we told you was decent
This is how we want you to get high,
This is how we want you to get by
My daddy was a toker
He just kept smoking
Til the jokes he could tell got very blue
My mama was a joker
If she was a hippy
Then I guess she was tripping
On a high love you
Cause I will always
I will always
I will always
I will always
Try to get my life together,
I guess we always
Guess we always knew,
That it would be stormy weather
CHORUS :
This is how we want you to get high
The way that we showed you
The way that we told you was decent
This is how we want you to get high,
This is how we want you to get by
On your sorry lives
Take another, take another
I never picked a fight in my life
Or raised a hand to my wife
Or saw my children
As things to bully,
I never dropped a pill in a drink
I know how low you can sink
My heart
My heart is better than that
I never picked a fight in my life
Or raised a hand to my wife
Or saw my children
As things to bully,
I never dropped a pill in a drink
I know how low you can sink
My heart,
My heart
Is better than that
Looking for a different space,
Dreaming of a sunnier day,
Oh it never came
How could it have baby
Where the present meets the past
It’s hard to be more
Than we’ve seen,
Its hard to be more than we’ve seen.
