Smoking in bed

(Billy Bob Thornton/Marty Stuart)


Lightning bugs buzzing round the piss elm tree
I'm a hundred miles from reality
I take a big drag and suck it all in
Blow it out the window, let it ride on the wind

I see indigo wheels of purple and blue
People on TV look like me and you
There's spiders on the ceiling and buzzards on the wall
If I could find the telephone I'd give you a call

Smoking in bed
Smoking in bed
It's bad for my body and good for my head
I like to lay around the house and smoke in bed

Have any of y'all ever seen a mattress burn
While listening to The Byrds sing "Turn! Turn! Turn!"
I've seen it happen, I'm living proof
If you don't believe me, look at the hole in my roof

Now I can lay here and look out at the sky
And watch fuzzy black dragons as they fly by
I think it's time to roll me a big old fatty
And try to find the phone and call Miss Paisley Patty

Smoking in bed
Smoking in bed
It's bad for my body and good for my head
I like to lay around the house and smoke in bed

Smoking in bed
Smoking in bed
It's bad for my body and good for my head
I like to lay around the house and smoke in bed

Yeah
