I Got Stoned And I Missed It Lyrics - A Little Bit More: The Collection - Dr. Hook

(Shel Silverstein) 

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
