Brandy Clark - Get High Lyrics






She hates her job, loves her kids
Bored with her husband
Tired of the same old list of things to do
So when the to-dos have all been done
She sits down at the kitchen table
And rolls herself a fat one

Smoke so sweet fills the air
She maybe ought to crack a window
But all she can do is stare at the paint
That's been peeling off the walls
A couple tokes and her troubles don't seem all that tall

You know life will let you down
Love will leave you lonely
Sometimes to only way to get by
Is to get high

She laughs out loud at who she used to be
A girl who'd a looked down on
A woman's smoking weed in her kitchen
Sometimes she misses those younger days
Seeing the world through rose colored glasses
Instead of this purple haze

You know life will let you down
Love will leave you lonely
Sometimes to only way to get by
Is to get high

So she tucks her kids in at night
Kisses her husband turns off the light
And talks to God
Says Lord Help me accept what I cannot change
But until I learn to do that
Thanks for the Mary Jane

You know life will let you down
Love's gonna leave you lonely
Sometimes the only way to get by
Is to get high

Yeah sometimes the only way to get by
Is to get high

    Brandy deserves to be as big as Kacey or Miranda, great lyricist.

  10. S.... A....

    Here cause of netflix

  11. T.... ....

    Who else stoned af

  12. D.... L....

    Love all the "the video is really about" post. You are just trying too hard. It is about pot. It is about using cannabis to escape the normal that life can treat us to. It is about pot and that is okay.

  13. D.... S....

    Love this song!!

  14. t.... h....

    Way to go Brandy! I just accidentally discovered your music and it is REALLY GOOD! Now how would a person be able to get your ears on a couple tunes I have that the bass player for Buddy Holly said "thats a stone cold hit"

  15. K.... ....

    REAL TALK

  16. K.... W....

    I'm such a stoner!!! This song gives me the chills.. So easy to relate...

  21. W.... O....

    How did I get here?

    But I like where I am... 👌😎

  22. P.... J....

    Whats with the aspect ratio its like 35:3? How wide do people want our screens to be? when i was a boy we watched square screens. the good way in the up times. this tarnation here is a 5th of my screen, its like twice as wide as the thumbnails at the side. first these fuckers come in and tell us we need progressive scanning. next thing all the movies are in 16:9 and we cant see shi and they're like well shucks better get a bigger tv. In fact your tv should be the size of your wall and be connected to the internet with cameras on it. fucing corporate fucking slime. They wait til somethings happening socially and they take more of our fucking privacy away from us. TV's are the devil and this video here is attempting to usher in another obscene trade of cash for idenitities of the common folk. I wont stand for it. I won't buy your snake oil.


    shit i watched a couple comment etiquettes lately, i didnt meant to do that. cool video!

  45. R.... U....

    She hates her job, loves her kids
    Bored with her husband
    Tired of the same old list of things to do
    So when the to-dos have all been done
    She sits down at the kitchen table
    And rolls herself a fat one

    Smoke so sweet fills the air
    She maybe ought to crack a window
    But all she can do is stare at the paint
    That's been peeling off the walls
    A couple tokes and her troubles don't seem all that tall

    [Chorus:]
    You know life will let you down
    Love will leave you lonely
    Sometimes to only way to get by
    Is to get high

    She laughs out loud at who she used to be
    A girl who'd a looked down on
    A woman's moking weed in her kitchen
    Sometimes she misses those younger days
    Seeing the world through rose colored glasses
    Instead of this purple haze

    [Repeat Chorus]

    So she tucks her kids in at night
    Kisses her husband turns off the light
    And talks to God
    Says Lord gel me accept what I cannot change
    But until I learn to do that
    Thanks for the Mary Jane

  70. S.... H....

    LOVE THIS SONG!!!! 💖

  71. Q.... F....

    Very true. she's a singer who sings and writes from her heart. A great talent. Rocking song

  72. J.... B....

    Brandy has written many tunes for country artist. She has two cds out now. She writes real country lyrics. Country music was always about life. Told a story. One can relate to. This cd is one of the best of the year. If you like Brandy's style give a listen to a singer from Canada, Whitney Rose. She has videos on YouTube. Her cd isn't available in the USA. I bought one on eBay. Country music seems to be going back to it's roots. Of course every type of music evolves. In country it isn't booze, it's weed

  73. W.... H....

    What a great song. Everything, the slide guitar, the rhythm, the lyrics, the actual story of the song and the way Brandy Clark sings, brings it all together perfectly. This cool song deserves lots more public attention!

  74. T.... M....

    Saw her lastnite in Jonesboro AR. she's a great singer... love her songs

  75. L.... A....

    I just saw her performed this song last night at Bethel Woods!!! she is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

    G.... F....

    Glitzy Fritzy too much for Christian Country radio....😇👅✌

  85. T.... ....

    I first heard this on NPR and thought this has to be one of the realest songs I've ever heard. Love it!

    T.... ....

    Have you heard Wasted Rock Ranger? It's a riot, sad but a riot!

  86. b.... #....

    What a tune while having a spliff in hand fantastic

    b.... #....

    Right lol

  87. S.... A....

    She has a great voice!

    S.... A....

    Scott Anderson never heard of her but she has a good voice has patches tonight

  88. N.... ....

    I saw her in concert for the 2016 Women of Country I knew nothing of her until then. I love her now I took my friend to see her we buying her new cd and another girl that was in concert there name Tara Thomas. They were good with the headliner .

    N.... ....

    me too!!

  89. S.... H....

    ohhh this song is really cool

  90. B.... 4....

    do Christians actually smoke marijuana? If they do, then that's rather interesting... Considering that the Bible is against the use of drugs. of course, nobody's perfect.

    B.... 4....

    they mix either with cocoa leaves to make cocaine alcohol has to ferment they mix chemicals with the poppys plant pot the only thing natural

    B.... 4....

    It's a paradox - if god made everything then he made cannabis. was god wrong to make it or are we wrong to condemn it?

    If you did read the Bible you would find that it never specifically mentions any drug/substance use except for maybe wine - it does say that your body is a temple and to keep it clean/sacred. Who is to say that marijuana is good/bad for keeping your body a sacred temple?

    B.... 4....

    didn't jesus turn water into wine??? wine is alcohol ... alcohol is a drug...hmmmm LOL just saying

    B.... 4....

    Blindy 4Jesus lol. I dont think marijuana is directly even mentioned in the bible....

    B.... 4....

    What do they refer to it as? “Thy herb that makes thee feel funny?”. Shit, they could be refering to ayahuasca as far as we know.

  91. H.... B....

    Brilliant. Picture perfect country

  92. L.... H....

    Sure this song is called GET HIGH, but it is about escaping, whether it's by smoking pot, drinking, popping pills, overeating, screwing everything that walks, lying...who doesn't do something? A real song by a real artist. You know, what country radio basically ignores these days w/a few exceptions.

    L.... H....

    Laurie Havens FAT

    L.... H....

    It’s not the drugs that make an addict it’s the need to escape reality

    L.... H....

    Laurie Havens,you nailed it sister.

    L.... H....

    @Wes Pierce amen

    L.... H....

    loving everything including someone same sex as you and gettin high. Merica !!!

  93. K.... T....

    sometimes this is jus how things are in life thank u for the merry Jane :)

  94. J.... B....

    Why has no one seen this video? Great song

    J.... B....

    I'm so .

    J.... B....

    The public is sleeping on Ms. Clark

    J.... B....

    Share it

    J.... B....

    YouTube is a private company that's against psychoactives, yet pro propaganda. Their AI will keep this from being suggested

  95. j.... ....

    she is great

  96. N.... M....

    I love Brandy so much.

    N.... M....
