Daddy's Weed

I was out in daddy's wood shop About 17 years old Stacking up some lumber, sweeping sawdust off the floor Way over in the corner, I smelled something kinda strange I looked behind a can of paint, and found a bag of Mary Jane I thought, "What the hell is this?" It threw me for a loop Had me feeling all mixed up 'Cause daddy always told me, "Only hippies smoke that stuff" Well, I knew damn good and well, he wasn't leaning to the left And he'd rather die and go to hell than listen to, "The Grateful Dead" The day I found my daddy's weed I knew the truth, and it set me free That's when I learned this apple didn't fall far from the tree I did a lot of growing up, the day I found my daddy's weed Now, mom was gettin' groceries, and dad was out of town So I sat there on the workbench, contemplatin' what I found I went from feelin' kinda pissed to thinkin', "What the hell?" I got my bowl out of the truck and broke off a little for myself You're damn right That shit was awful sticky, it had crystals on the leaves Smelled kinda like a skunk, and kinda like a Christmas tree It might've come from California or maybe Colorado But it was on a different level than what I was gettin' down the road The day I found my daddy's weed It's one of my favorite memories That's when I learned this apple didn't fall far from the tree I did a lot of growin' up, the day I found my daddy's weed I only hit it once, and damn, it hit me hard I flew straight to the moon and back, sittin' in the yard And suddenly, I understood why daddy loved to work so much And when we heard him out there coughin', it wasn't from the dust The day I found my daddy's weed Oh, it still gets to me The little blonde haired boy who used to bounce upon his knee Became the man out in the backyard stoned on daddy's weed All messed up on daddy's weed (la-dah, ra-ra, dah-dah, la-dah, ra-ra, dah-dah) Daddy's weed (la-dah, ra-ra, dah-dah) Hmm-mm (la-dah, la-dah) (La-dah, ra-ra, dah-dah, la-dah, ra-ra, dah-dah) Oh, daddy's weed (la-dah, ra-ra, dah-dah, la-dah) Stoned on daddy's weed (la-dah) Hmm, yeah (la-dah, ra-ra, dah-dah, la-dah, ra-ra, dah-dah) (La-dah, la, dah-dah)
