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

Rewrite 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

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 in 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

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, hmmm

Chorus

  It's been a long night in New York City

 It's been a long time since twenty-two

I don't remember you looking any better

  But then again I don't remember, don't remember you
