Well my cousin Joe had a five string banjo
And me I had this ole flat top guitar
We stayed up all night just a pickin' and a grinnin'
We liked our music fast and hot
We played smokin' grass any place they'd let us
Smokin' grass out behind the barn
Smokin' grass is our worst habit
Yeah we got high on smokin' grass
When mama said, boys it's time to do your homework
Said, mom you've got that exactly right
We played all night just to get the sound perfected
Old Lester and Earl would be proud of us tonight
We played smokin' grass any place they'd let us
Smokin' grass out behind the barn
Smokin' grass is our worst habit
Yeah we got high on smokin' grass
One day we got a call said boys you've made the bigtime
They want you to play on that Opry stage
We stood there and played and the crowd went crazy
Our homegrown grass had become the rage
We played smokin' grass down at the Grand Ole Opry
Smokin' grass up at Carnegie Hall
Smokin' grass was our worst habit
Now the whole world gets high on smokin' grass
We played smokin' grass any place they'd let us
Smokin' grass out behind the barn
Smokin' grass is our worst habit
Now the whole world gets high on smokin' grass
Yeah we get high on smokin' grass
