One, two, and three Who says I can't get stoned Turn off the lights and the telephone Me in my house alone Who says I can't get stoned Who says I can't be free From all of the things that I used to be Rewrite my history Who says I can't be free It's been a long night in New York city It's been a long night in Baton Rouge I don't remember you looking any better But then again, I don't remember you Who says I can't get stoned Call up a girl that I used to know Fake love for an hour or so Who says I can't get stoned Who says I can't take time Meet all the girls in the county line Wait on fate to send a sign Who says I can't take time It's been a long night in New York city It's been a long night in Austin too I don't remember you looking any better But then again I don't remember you Who says I can't get stoned Plan a trip to Japan alone It doesn't matter if I even go Who says I can't get stoned It's been a long night in New York city It's been a long time since 22 I don't remember you looking any better But then again I don't remember Don't remember you
