  • Baby we’ve been together for a long, long time
    You get home from work and then we just turn out the lights
    Lately I’ve been dreaming you in leather, me in lace
    Let’s put up the teddy bears, and pull put the whip and chains

    Give me weed instead of roses
    Bring me whiskey instead of wine
    Every puff, every shot, you looking better all the time
    I don’t need a card from Hallmark
    Box of candy has a note
    Give me weed instead of roses
    Let’s see where it goes

    Honey you don’t have to worry
    There ain’t no one else for me
    Lately we have fallen under the same routine
    I ain’t getting any younger, oh but you don’t seem to care
    Let’s trade in the boxers from some sexy underwear

    Give me weed instead of roses
    Bring me whiskey instead of wine
    Every puff, every shot, you looking better all the time
    I don’t need a card from Hallmark
    Box of candy has a note
    Give me weed instead of roses
    Let’s see where it goes

    Let’s send the kids to grandma
    And call in sick to work
    Put on some heavy metal
    Rip the phone off of the hook
    Go call your no good brother
    We both know what he’s been growing
    I’ll be waiting with the whipped cream
    And baby let’s get going

    Give me weed instead of roses
    Bring me whiskey instead of wine
    Every puff, every shot, you looking better all the time
    I don’t need a card from Hallmark
    Box of candy has a note
    Give me weed instead of roses
    Let’s see where it goes

    You pull out the Polaroid
    And I’ll strike a couple ṗoses
    Oh let’s get a little wild
    Bring me weed instead of roses Writer/s: ASHLEY MONROE, JON MCELROY, SALLY BARRIS
