Hoyt Axton - Roll Your Own lyrics

(Mel McDaniel)

If you don't like the way they make 'em in the city

Cause they taste too strong the dang paper ain't pretty

Roll your own roll your own

You'll leave the ready rolls behind when you finally find a roll your own.

There's the raspberry strawberry pretty red wine

Besides tasting good you're gonna have a nice time

Roll your own roll your own

You're gonna have a nice time I ain't lyin' roll your own.

Well, the first time you try it you're gonna cuss and shout

'Cause the paper keeps tearin' and the stuffin' falls out

But don't give up 'cause after a while

You'll be smokin' right on with a big ole smile

Roll your own, roll your own.

--- Instrumental ---

When you finally get the hang of rolling your own

You'll want to share it with a friend let 'em pass it along

Roll your own roll your own

You won't smoke so dang much when you finally get the touch

So roll your own.

You'll leave the ready rolls behind when you finally find

A roll your own...
