Been Smoking Too Long
Words and Music by Robin Frederick
Well, I wake up in the morning
Look at my clock
Way past noontime
I know I'm late for work
Tell me, tell me,
What have I done wrong
Ain't nothin' going right with me
Must be I been smoking too long
Well, I go to find me some breakfast
But I ain't got no food
Take me a shower
But the water don't feel no good
Tell me, tell me,
What have I done wrong
Ain't nothin' going right with me
Must be I been smoking too long
I got opium in my chimney
No other life to choose
Nightmare made of hash dreams
Got the devil in my shoes
Tell me, tell me,
What have I done wrong
Ain't nothin' going right with me
Must be I been smoking too long
Well, when I'm smokin'
Put my worries on a shelf
Don't think about nothin'
Try not to see myself
Tell me, tell me,
What have I done wrong
Ain't nothin' going right with me
Must be I been smoking too long
Well, in this blues I'm singin'
There's a lesson to be learned
Don't go round smokin'
'less you wanna get burned
Tell me, tell me,
What have I done wrong
Ain't nothin' going right with me
Must be I been smoking too...
Ain't nothin' going right with me
Must be I been smoking too...
Everything goin' wrong with me
Must be I been smoking too long.
