lyrics

"single cigarette"

down in the valley where i used to live
there never was much to do
until one day i found something
my momma always told me not to
i started smoking, oh how i loved smoking
she said boy you're a fool but i felt so cool
'cause damn man, i was smoking

the girl of my dreams, the girl of my dreams
she was always far away
but a friend of mine had talked to her
and he told me what she said
she said the boy with the hat and the cigarette,
well he looks just like a man
now that i've seen him in this light you know i really ought to take him in
she said we'll spend the night but first i'll give you a
light 'cause i love to see you smoke
oh darling

and everybody was happy as can be,
we were talking about the living and the free
we were spending days and days up in our beds
blame it on a single cigarette

now i'm sitting here with mr. marketeer talking about what i love
to tell you the truth it's the same old youth,
if you ask me what i'm thinking of
all those kids today don't see it differently
they're just trying to be free
with all the rules and regulations around here
it's becoming even harder to be
so they light one up and they have a puff and they're having their good times
showing all the old folks that they're
living their own lives

and they're still as happy as can be,
and they're talking about the living and the free
i guess they're spending days and days up in our beds
blame it on a single cigarette
