Lyrics: Mel McDaniel
Music: Mel McDaniel
Played the David Nelson Band.
Well if you don't like the way they make 'em in the city
'Cause they taste too strong, the paper tastes shitty
Roll your own (roll your own)
Roll your own (roll your own)
You'll leave the ready rolls behind
When you finally find a roll your own (roll your own)
You got to [agitate], rice paper, slow burning too
You can get up in the corners, got [?] without the glue
Besides tasting good you're gonna have a nice time
Roll your own (roll your own)
Roll your own (roll your own)
You're gonna have a nice time
I ain't lyin', roll your own (roll your own)
Well, the first time you try it you're gonna cuss and shout
'Cause the paper keeps tearin' and the stuffin' falling out
But don't give up 'cause after a while
You'll be rolling on a fatty with a great big smile
Roll your own (roll your own)
Roll your own (roll your own)
Well, the first time you try it you're gonna cuss and shout
'Cause the paper keeps tearin' and the stuffin' falling out
But don't give up 'cause after a while
You'll be rolling on a fatty with a great big crooked smile
Roll your own (roll your own)
Roll your own (roll your own)
Well the [stones] start to [fit], 'cause your boddy ain't pretty
And your dog starts barking 'cause his food tastes shitty
Roll your own
Roll your own
Well hell's other people
So you'd best getting on an roll your own
When you finally get the hang of rolling your own
You'll want to share it with a friend have 'em pass it along
Roll your own (roll your own)
Roll your own (roll your own)
You won't smoke so dang much
When you finally get the touch, so roll your own
You'll leave the ready rolls behind
When you finally find a roll your own (roll your own)
