I was sitting in my basement I just rolled myself a taste   Of something green and gold and glorious to get me through the day   Then my friend yelled through the transom Grab your coat and get your hat son   There's a nut down on the corner, givin' dollar bills away   But I laid around a bit   Then I had another hit   Then I rolled myself a bauma   Then I thought about my mama   Then I fooled around, played around   Jacked around a while and then   I got stoned and I missed it   I got stoned and I missed it   I got stoned and it rolled right by   I got stoned and I missed it   I got stoned and I missed it   I got stoned oh me oh my   Now it took seven months of urging just to get that local virgin   With the sweet face up to my place to fool around a bit   Next day she woke up rosy and she snuggled up so cosy   When she asked me how I liked it Lord it hurt me to admit   I was stoned and I missed it   I was stoned and I missed it   I was stoned and it rolled right by   I was stoned and I missed it   I was stoned and I missed it   I was stoned oh me oh my   Now I ain't makin' no excuses for the many things I uses   Just to sweeten my relationships and brighten up my day   But when my earthly race is over and I'm ready for the clover   And they ask me how my life has been I guess I'll have to say   I was stoned and I missed it   I was stoned and I missed it   I was stoned and it rolled right by   I was stoned and I missed it   I was stoned and I missed it   I was stoned oh me oh my
