[Verse 1]
I hear her talk-talk-talkin' all over this town
Haters all hatin', runnin' everybody down
Got me thinkin' it's time for me to make a move
I thought of gettin' pissed off, pickin' up my phone
To tell 'em all where to go, put their name in a song
But on second thought, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
[Chorus]
I'm gonna roll one up and take the high road
And let the bullshit roll right off of my back
I'm sendin' all that stuff up to Heaven in a cloud of smoke
In a minute or two, I'll be chillin' like Kerouac
[Verse 2]
I got a buddy named Billy, but he goes by Pez
He told me somethin' that I'll never forget
A little stoner life philosophy
He said, "I bet you never seen somebody take a hit
Go out and start a war, it's just the opposite"
I thought, "Hell (Aw, hell), that sounds about right to me"
[Chorus]
I'm gonna roll one up and take the high road
Let the bullshit roll right off of my back
I'm sendin' all that stuff up to Heaven in a cloud of smoke
In a minute or two, I'll be rollin' like a Cadillac
(Let's roll, boy)
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh
Hm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hm-mm-mm-mm-mm
The more I tune in the news
The more I ask myself
What would Willy and Snoop do?
[Chorus]
Then I roll one up and take the high road
Let the bullshit roll right off of my back
I'm sendin' all that stuff up to Heaven in a cloud of smoke
Wanna crank a little Merle and do a little more of that
I'm thinkin' this crazy world could use a little bit more of that
[Outro]
I wanna roll one up and take the high road
