I'm not hurting anyone so let me be
I just want to burn one down, sit back and be me
Come shake my hand; it's easy you'll see
Come on over and burn one down with me

We'll sit back in comfort and play a few tunes
or just sit back and act like a couple of buffoons
with no place to go and a long time to get there
you can take a ride without leaving the chair

It's my happy place
You can see it on my face
I'm always smiling with eyes slanted down
Just hit it once and pass it around

There's just one thing that I enjoy more
but I left it in another room on the other side of the door
Let's burn one down, let's do it again
and if you want you can bring a friend

I'm not hurting anyone so let me be
If you want to burn one down, sit down with me
Come shake my hand; it's easy you'll see
Come on over and burn one down with me

I'm free every night, but I've chosen just one
That's the only night I'm allowed to have fun
Saturday night is the only night for me
I burn one down, and then I turn into me

I remember the days of old
when highs were bought and sold
Nothing's changed from way back when
and for sure every Saturday I'm smiling again

Come on, my friend, it's safe and sound
Sit right down, and we'll burn one down
Sit next to me, and we'll pass it around
It's time to smile and forget how to frown

I'm not hurting anyone you may clearly see
I just want to burn one down, sit back and be me
I've been a contender all of these years
I love it when laughter causes a few tears

I'm not hurting anyone so let me be
I just want to burn one down, sit back and be free
Come shake my hand; it's easy you'll see
Come on over and burn one down with me
