[Verse 1]
Ashtray crown on the table
Half-smile stuck on my face
Bill stack leanin’ in the corner
But it can't find my place
Doctor’s words in the trash can
Clock hands drag like chains
I twist that green little freedom
Watch it loosen my veins
[Chorus]
Cannabis is my hero
Takes the sharp edge out my day
No pain, no worries
Just drifts the hurt away
Cannabis is my hero
In this old worn-out body of mine
Pure sweet relief in my lungs
And the blues feel almost fine (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Back porch, rusty screen door
Rain hums low in the yard
Knees used to dance on tables
Now they just creak and they guard
But that first slow, careful drag
Turns my jaw from steel to clay
I lean back, laugh at the thunder
Like it can’t touch me today
[Chorus]
Cannabis is my hero
Takes the sharp edge out my day
No pain, no worries
Just drifts the hurt away
Cannabis is my hero
In this old worn-out body of mine
Pure sweet relief in my lungs
And the blues feel almost fine (mm-hmm)
[Bridge]
Maybe I ain't gettin’ younger
But I ain’t ready to grieve
Got a match, got a moment
Got a right to believe
In that slow, soft mercy
Curling up when I breathe
[Chorus]
Cannabis is my hero
Takes the sharp edge out my day
No pain, no worries
Just drifts the hurt away
Cannabis is my hero
In this old worn-out body of mine
Pure sweet relief in my lungs
And the blues feel almost fine
