Lyrics
“Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die”
(feat. Snoop Dogg, Kris Kristofferson, Jamey Johnson)Roll me up and smoke me when I die
And if anyone don’t like it, just look ’em in the eye
I didn’t come here, and I ain’t leavin’
So don’t sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.Now, you won’t see no sad and teary eyes
When I get my wings and it’s my time to fly
Call my friends and tell ’em
There’s a party, come on by
Now just roll me up and smoke me when I die.Roll me up and smoke me when I die
And if anyone don’t like it, just look ’em in the eye
I didn’t come here, and I ain’t leavin’
So don’t sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.When I’d go I’ve been here long enough
So you’ll sing and tell more jokes and dance and stuff
Just keep the music playin’,
That’ll be a good goodbye
Roll me up and smoke me when I die.Roll me up and smoke me when I die
And if anyone don’t like it, just look ’em in the eye
I didn’t come here, and I ain’t leavin’
So don’t sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.Hey, take me out and build a roaring fire
Roll me in the flames for about an hour
Then take me out and twist me up
And point me towards the sky
And roll me up and smoke me when I die.Roll me up and smoke me when I die
And if anyone don’t like it, just look ’em in the eye
I didn’t come here, and I ain’t leavin’
So don’t sit around and cry
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.
Just roll me up and smoke me when I die.
