High
The BossHoss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking to youself,well, this is not my car
You're trying hard to remember, what was going on
Oh yeah, the night out with the boys
and the weed that was a little too strong
My head is spinning, my body's aching
But it's the sweetest pain that I've ever had
'Cause
I'm still high- there's a lot of work that I should do
But I'm high- tell my boss that we are through
Well I'm so high- there are many things I should say and do
But I'm high- and it's the best thing I've ever had
Yeah it's the best thing I've ever had
First thing in the evening, after slowly waking up
Answering the phone, there's a meeting in the club
Of course I gotta be there too, 'cause it means to me a lot
And after ordering a drink, I gotta smoke that pot
And I turn
High- there's a lot of work that I should do
But I'm high- tell my boss that we are through
Well I'm so high- there are many things I should say and do
But I'm high- and it's the best thing I've ever had
Yeah it's the best thing I've ever had
Pretty girl sat at the bar,she's the kind that would go far
think that she'd be worth a try; I'll never know 'cause I got high
So
High- there's a lot of work that I should do
But I'm high- tell my boss that we are through
Well I'm so high- there are many things I should say and do
But I'm high- and it's the best thing I've ever had
Yeah it's the best thing I've ever had
