Verse:
AI was sitting in my basement 
I just rolled myself a taste of something
Egreen and gold and glorious to get me through the Aday.
Then my friend yelled through the transom, 
"grab your coat and get your hat son
There's a Enut down on the corner, givin' dollar bills Aaway."
But I Esat around a bit and then
EHad another hit and then
ERolled myself a bauma
EThought about my mama
ELooked around
EFooled around
EPlayed around a while and then
Chorus:
I got Astoned and I missed it
I got Astoned and I missed it
I got Estoooooned and it rolled right Aby
I got Astoned and I missed it
I got Astoned and I missed it
I got Estoooooned oh me oh Amy
Verse:
ANow it took seven months of urging just to get that local virgin
With the Esweet face up to my place to fool around a Abit.
Next day she woke up rosy and she snuggled up so cozy
When she Aasked me how I liked it Lord it hurt me to Eadmit
Chorus:
I was Astoned and I missed it
I was Astoned and I missed it
I was Estoooooned and it rolled right Aby
I was Astoned and I missed it
I was Astoned and I missed it
I was Estoooooned oh me oh Amy
[Solo over chorus chords]
Verse:
ANow I ain't makin' no excuses for the many things I uses
Just to Ebrighten my relationships and sweeten up my Aday.
But when my earthly race is over and I'm ready for the clover
And they Eask me how my life has been I guess I'll have to Asay.
Chorus:
I was Astoned and I missed it
I was Astoned and I missed it
I was Estoooooned and it rolled right Aby
I was Astoned and I missed it
I was Astoned and I missed it
I was Estoooooned oh me oh Amy
