[Intro]
Down by the water
Kicks on the sand
Whole world distant
Lighter in my hand (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Old Ford parked by the muddy bank
Cooler in the back, little gas in the tank
Snapback down, got the ash on my jeans
Blue sky burnin’ through a cloud of green
Phone on mute, I’m dodgin’ that drama
Mama still think I’m headed for karma
But right now, I’m just watchin’ that flow
Big dreams drift where the cattails grow
[Chorus]
I’m just smokin’ weed down by the river (down by the river)
Let the weight on my shoulders run thinner
Got a buzz, got the sun on my face
Let the tide roll in, wash away my mistakes
Yeah, I’m smokin’ weed down by the river (down by the river)
Heart beat slow, but my hope get bigger
If you lookin’ for me, I ain’t hard to deliver
I’m right here, right here
Smokin’ weed down by the river
[Verse 2]
Boots off, feet in the cold brown stream
Thinkin’ ‘bout the kid I was at sixteen
Wanted fast money, fast love, fast life
Now I just want peace when the day ain’t right
Homies hit me like, “Pull up, we outside” (we outside)
But they never seen this kinda sunrise
Mist on the water like smoke on my tongue
Every little exhale say “what’s done is done”
[Chorus]
I’m just smokin’ weed down by the river (down by the river)
Let the weight on my shoulders run thinner
Got a buzz, got the sun on my face
Let the tide roll in, wash away my mistakes
Yeah, I’m smokin’ weed down by the river (down by the river)
Heart beat slow, but my hope get bigger
If you lookin’ for me, I ain’t hard to deliver
I’m right here, right here
Smokin’ weed down by the river
[Bridge]
Lil’ cough, lil’ laugh, lil’ prayer in between (oh yeah)
For the ones that I lost and the ones I ain’t seen
If tomorrow hit hard, I’ll remember this scene
How the smoke met the sky and the sky stayed clean
[Chorus]
I’m just smokin’ weed down by the river (down by the river)
Let the weight on my shoulders run thinner
Got a buzz, got the sun on my face
Let the tide roll in, wash away my mistakes
Yeah, I’m smokin’ weed down by the river (down by the river)
Heart beat slow, but my hope get bigger
If you lookin’ for me, I ain’t hard to deliver
I’m right here, right here
Smokin’ weed down by the river
