Burn One Down Lyrics

Let us burn one
From end to end
And pass it over
To me my friend
Burn it long, we'll burn it slow
To light me up before I go

If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
'Cause I'm gonna Burn One Down
Yes I'm gonna burn one down

My choice is what I choose to do
And if I'm causing no harm
It shouldn't bother you
Your choice is who you choose to be
And if your causin' no harm
Then you're alright with me

If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
'Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Yes I'm gonna burn one down

Herb the gift from the earth
And what's from the earth
Is of the greatest worth
So before you knock it try it first
You'll see it's a blessing
And it's not a curse

If you don't like my fire
Then don't come around
'Cause I'm gonna burn one down
Yes I'm gonna burn one, uh

Burn One Down

This is about marijuana. When Ben states "burn on from end to end," he is talking about a joint. (thanks, Sarah - Toronto, Canada)

At many live gigs, Harper will tell stories about his songs. On a Live DVD he refers to people smoking the "Herb" and people "So uptight they need to take a hit" and other people "Who take too many, and lose sight of their dreams." (thanks, Dave - Ballarat, Australia)
