Morning Coffee Break - John Mayer

Trying to keep my John Mayer posts to a minimum, but with the anticipated release of his new album, Born and Raised, I just cannot help it. On his tumblr page (One Forty Plus) last evening he posted:

So today I bring you the first single “Who Says” from Battle Studies,  as to mark this upcoming occasion. Whether you are a John Mayer fan of not you must admit this song has a little something we can all relate to. Enjoy.

As of this afternoon Mayer posted a 60 second tease of "Shadow Days" which will be his first single from Born and Raised.  Check it out here!

John Mayer – “Who Says”, Battle Studies

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?

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
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 on the county line
Wait on fate to send a sign
Who says I can’t take time?

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
Well 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?

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
Then again I don’t remember,
don't remember you
