I met a drug dealer in south Alabama
He hooked me up with a bag he called a 9 pound hammer
Said he raised it when he spent time in the slammer
What was I smoking?
I bought it one night and went out by the front gate
The sheriff came out a-wavin' his 12 guage
I tore out the drive, he peppered my tailgate
What was I smokin'?
Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay, but that crossed my mind a little too late

'Cause I was thinkin' 'bout getting' high as soon as I could even right then
and maybe even there
I was thinkin' 'bout a long drag
Man, just gotta get smokin' where the night might lead
I know what I was feelin',
But what was I smokin'?
What was I smokin'?

By the county line the cops where nippin' on my heels
Pulled off the road and kicked it in 4-wheels
Shut off the lights and tore though a corn field
What was I smokin'?
Out the other side I was hollering' "Higher!"
Took the dirt road, had another joint blastin'
Hit the honky-tonk for a lotta joint smokin'
What was I smokin'
Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay, but that crossed my mind a little too late

'Cause I was thinkin' 'bout getting' high as soon as I could even right then
and maybe even there
I was thinkin' 'bout a long drag
Man, just gotta get smokin' where the night might lead
I know what I was feelin',
But what was I smokin'?

When a mountain of a man with a "Born to Kill" tattoo
Wanted a hit, I knocked out his front tooth
I ran outside, hoods slidin' like Bo Duke
What was I smokin'?
I finally got myself home at a half past two
The county cops were on my poarch and standin' in the driveway
Put it in park as they started my way
What was I smokin'?
Oh, what was I smokin'?
Oh, what was I smokin'?
Then the crack said give 'em 'Come and Get Me' grin
And like a bullet I was gone again

'Cause I was thinkin' 'bout getting' high as soon as I could even right then
and there
I was thinkin' 'bout a long drag
Man, just gotta get smokin' where the night might lead
I know what I was feelin',
But what was I smokin'?
What was I smokin'?
