She hates her job, loves her kids
Bored with her husband

Tired of the same old list of things to do

She sits down at the kitchen table
E
And rolls herself a fat one

Smoke so sweet fills the air
She maybe ought to crack a window
A
But all she can do is stare at the paint
E
That's been peeling off the walls

A couple tokes and her troubles don't seem all that tall

Love will leave you lonely

Sometimes to only way to get by

A girl who'd a looked down on
A
A woman smoking weed in her kitchen
E
Sometimes she misses them younger days

Seeing the world through rose colored glasses
E
Instead of this purple haze

Love will leave you lonely

Sometimes to only way to get by

Kisses her husband, turns off the light

And talks to God
E
Says: "Lord, help me accept what I can't change
B7
But until I learn to do that
E
Thanks for the Mary Jane"
