‘Them Stems’ is the eighth song on Stapleton’s From A Room: Volume 1.
It isn’t the first song Chris wrote about using drugs. In Might As Well Get Stoned he stated that he would use drugs when he rans out of whiskey. But in this song, he seems to malfunction when he’s in shortage of drugs.
[Chorus]
This morning I smoked them stems
Yeah, that's the kinda shape I'm in
I'm in a bad, bad way again
'Cause this morning I smoked them stems
[Verse 1]
My dealer, he's been out of town
And that's really got me down
I hope he ain't up in the pen again
'Cause this morning I smoked them stems
[Chorus]
This morning I smoked them stems
Yeah, that's the kinda shape I'm in
I'm in a bad, bad way again
'Cause this morning I smoked them stems
[Verse 2]
My baby, she done said goodbye
And all I ever do is cry
There ain't nothing round the house now to make me grin
'Cause this morning I smoked them stems
[Chorus]
This morning I smoked them stems
Yeah, that's the kinda shape I'm in
I'm in a bad, bad way again
'Cause this morning I smoked them stems
[Verse 3]
I called up this buddy of mine
'Cause we always had a real good time
I was hoping I could bum a toke off of him
But this morning he smoked them stems
[Chorus]
This morning I smoked them stems
Yeah, that's the kinda shape I'm in
I'm in a bad, bad way again
'Cause this morning I smoked them stems
