Stoned faces don’t lie, baby when you’re high
Stoned faces don’t lie, baby when you’re high
The other day I saw a picture of an old friend of mine
Back I the days when things they were so mellow
It stopped to think as I looked on his face
And I thought about what’s going on today
Stoned faces don’t lie, baby when you’re high
Stoned faces don’t lie, baby when you’re high
Thinking back to my early days in California
When everybody spent their days in Golden Gate Park
And I look for that smile on my friends today
And I wonder just how it all slipped away
Stoned faces don’t lie, baby when you’re high
Stoned faces don’t lie, baby when you’re high
Thinking back to the times that I always talk about
Back when things just started to get rolling
A Big Sur mountain top was a place I wanted to be
Where I could figure out all life's mysteries
Stoned faces don’t lie, baby when you’re high
Stoned faces don’t lie, baby when you’re high
Stoned faces don’t lie, baby when you’re high
Stoned faces don’t lie, baby when you’re high
