I like to feel kinda free and easy
Drinkin' snortin' anything to please me
All I have to say to you today
I'm high, I'm happy, hope I stay that way

Been on the road for about ten long years
I've seen spring in Des Moines I've seen laughter and tears
But I'm still around to say to you today
I'm high, I'm happy and hope I stay that way

I just gotta tell you 'cause I feel so fine
Let's outrun the constable jack and do another line
There's good booze and bad women I'd love to hear you all say
We're all high, we're all happy
God bless you stay that way
