Government Tobacco

I got a half dozen reasons, half a dozen rhymes Got a half a dozen problems and a half a box a wine I got a half a mind to give you, the other half is mine Smoking government tobacco just to try to stay alive I've been smoking, drinking and running around Not a care in the world two feet on the ground Now the load I carry is so light today I keep a rock in my pocket so I don't float away If I'm high let me think, If I'm dry let me drink If I drown let me sink in the troubles I brewed I speed when I'm wired and I'll sleep when I'm tired Let me die with my boots on, sing me a tune When I first started out to feeling this way Head in the clouds as high as a plane Ya didn't need a prescription to get thru the day Now this government tobacco's got me felling the same There's a few things in life I don't understand I try and I try, it just never makes sense And the truth is the answer is probably a lie But if you don't ask the questions you'll never know why If I'm high let me think, If I'm dry let me drink If I drown let me sink in the troubles I brewed I speed when I'm wired and I'll sleep when I'm tired Let me die with my boots on, sing me a tune You know one of these days I'll make it till the end I'm gonna sell that the old farm and get up around the bend But I'll keep the fires burnin' just as long as I can Smoking government tobacco till the cows come back in If I'm high let me think If I'm dry let me drink If I drown let me sink in the troubles I brewed I speed when I'm wired and I'll sleep when I'm tired Let me die with my boots on and sing me a tune Let me die with my boots on
