Anytime Smokin' Cigarette

(verse 1)

take a deep breath

inhale, exhale

wait a moment to release

this blue smoke is good for you

read a magazine and you'll see it's true

it's a healthy dose of reality

maybe it'll give you some energy

this day is shit

and you want to quit

but you need this job

because you're not ready to rob

someone of something that they truly earned

so if you have to take it out on something

take it out on your lungs

no one can see that you're dying inside

so when you kiss me it tastes of tobacco

but that's alright I'll go back and go

buy another pack

or maybe whole damn carton

so that you'll be cool with me

when your nerves are calm

is when you're at your best

I'm someone that always gets her way

but I really need you to stay

so I let go or the reigns ever so slightly

hoping that this taste of freedom

is just enough

to keep you by my side

and that you'll look over at least one of my faults

(chorus)

oh, damn it's been awhile

you smoke one pack a day

there's nothing the doctors can say

you know what's right for you

anytime smokin' cigarette

anytime that you can get

even if your shorten your life

oh oh oh oh oh boy

I don't know about that

I don't know soul

I don't know love without that smoke

that damn gray smoke

I don't know a miracle

I don't need anyone

I don't need to lose you or me or anybody

so I'll keep holding on

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

20 years I've smoked one a day

I can quit anytime I want to

I just don't want to stop

it's great for breakfast

it's great for a break

I light up after we make love

strike a match now it's my time

give me a light and the world will be bright

baby, baby

now is the time

I got you these patches

they do as they say

"get those damn things away from me

this time you won't get your way"

you say

so I guess I'll put them in the cabinet

next to the gum, next to the pills

to heal the day

you'll just keep hiding from life

taking two of these

and forgetting to call the doctor in the morning

(chorus)

I'm not stupid, you're a fool

thinking that you'll live forever

thinking that all you need is money

and that nothing will ever catch up with you

anytime that you smoke

anytime smokin' cigarette

you have to take what you can get

so let's just smoke

this cigarette

oh la la la la la la la la la la

I don't know about that

I don't know soul

I don't know love without that smoke

that damn gray smoke

I don't know a miracle

I don't need anyone

I don't need to lose you or me or anybody

so I'll keep holding on

(end chorus)

(verse 3)

trying to keep my problem from you

I can handle everything by myself

I told you I'd take care of you

so you could sit in our house that's blue

and do all those things you do

I'll tell you the truth someday

maybe I'm just looking for drama

and I'm not really worried about your trauma

we're supposed to be team

but you don't really seem

to think that

(chorus)

your issues are my issues

your missions, my missions

maybe we struggle day by day

but we still have time to smoke a cigarette

even if the monthly bills by up the door

oh la la la la la la la la la la

I don't know about that

I don't know soul

I don't know love without that smoke

that damn gray smoke

I don't know a miracle

I don't need anyone

I don't need to lose you or me or anybody

so I'll keep holding on

(end chorus)

(ending)

I told you who you told me

and now we're silent

just sitting at the kitchen table

staring into each other's eyes

I told you who you told me

and so we're sitting

wondering what's next to come

and I take a puff

really all that I was wanting

was to come home to you

take all the clothes off your body

and when we're done smoke a cigarette

that's all that a man could want

la la la la la la

la la la la la la

la la la la la la

whatever whatever whatever

whatever whatever whatever

 really all that I was wanting

was to come home to you

take all the clothes off your body

and when we're done smoke a cigarette

that's all that a man could want
