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

Re-write my history

Who says I can’t be free?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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 on the county line

Wait on fate to send a sign

Who says I can’t take time?

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

Who says I can’t get stoned?

Plan a trip to Japan alone

Doesn’t matter if I even go

Who says I can’t get stoned?

[Chorus]

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
