Smoke Break

Lyrics

She's a small-town, hard-workin' woman just tryin' to make a livin'
 Workin' three jobs, feedin' four little mouths in a run-down kitchen
 When you never takin' nothin' and doin' nothin' but givin'
 It's hard to be a good wife and a good mom and a good Christian
 She said, "I don't drink
 But sometimes I need a stiff drink
 Sippin' from a highball glass
 Let the world fade away"
 She said, "I don't smoke
 But sometimes I need a long drag
 Yeah, I know it might sound bad
 But sometimes I need a smoke break"
 ♪
 
 He's a big-city, hard-workin' man just tryna climb the ladder
 First generation to go to college instead of drivin' a tractor
 Never had nothin' handed to him on a silver platter
 It's hard to be a good man, good son, do somethin' good that matters
 He said, "I don't drink
 But sometimes I wanna pop that top
 Take a swig and make the world stop
 And watch it fade away"
 He said, "I don't smoke
 But sometimes I wanna light it up
 Yeah, when things get tough
 Sometimes I need a smoke break, yeah"
 ♪
 ♪
 So here's to you and here's to when the day gets long
 Go ahead, I understand if you wanna take a load off
 I don't drink
 But sometimes I need a stiff drink
 Sippin' from a highball glass
 Let the world fade away
 Yeah, and I don't smoke
 But sometimes I need a long drag
 Yeah, I know it might sound bad
 But sometimes I need a -, sometimes I need a -
 When the day gets long
 When the work's all done
 When the sun sets
 When you need to forget
 Grab that cup, hmm
 Fill it up, sip it slow
 And let it all go
 Ooh
