Johnson Grass Farm
By Cary Swinney
To that spirit of freedom, Innocence and independence in all of us
D G
I’m gonna live on marijuana and I ain’t gonna work at all
D
I’m gonna find me a house in the country and grow that
A
s**t ‘bout ten feet tall
D G
I’m gonna plant alongside Johnson Grass which I pray grows
a little taller
D
If you slide by the house and the lights are out you will
A
hear me hoop
D
and holler
(Chorus)
NC D G
Lord Jesus I’m stoned, ain’t doing nobody no wrong
D
Doin a little bit ‘a front porch thinkin some star studded dreamin and
A D
singin those Gospel songs, ain’t doin nobody no harm
G
livin on a Johnson Grass farm
D A
I’m not guilty of a crime just havin me a time
G D
And waitin on the harvest to come
D G
When the sun in the evenin slowly slithers down
D A
You will find me in my backyard diggin those plants up outta the ground
D G
Naked as a newborn baby and carefree as your local bum
D A D
Down on my hands n knees prayin for a rain shower to come
(Chorus)
