Cigarette

by Vaetion Chin

Got my headlights shining

Down an old dirt road

Smoke my cigarettes

I should quit, I know

The radio’s playing

Old country songs

Someone’s leaving, someone’s cheating,

On and on

I think I might like

The quiet nights,

Of this empty life

'Cause someday maybe

Somebody will love me like I need

And someday I won’t have to prove

'Cause somebody will see

All my worth but until then

I’ll do just fine on my own

With my cigarettes

And this old dirt road

See I left another

Good man tonight

I wonder if he'll miss me

Lord knows I tried

But I think that maybe

The thing that I did wrong

Was put up with this ********

For far too long

I think I might like

The quiet nights,

Of this empty life

'Cause someday maybe

Somebody will love me like I need

And someday I won’t have to prove

'Cause somebody will see

All my worth but until then

I’ll do just fine on my own

With my cigarettes

And this old dirt road

I ain’t gonna sleep

I don't wanna dream

About the things that I used to need

I aint’ gonna cry

Or go on living lies

I'm just gonna drive

'Cause someday

Maybe somebody will love me

And someday I won’t have to prove

All my worth

But until then I’ll do just fine on my own

With my cigarettes and this old

'Cause someday maybe

Somebody will love me like I need

And someday I won’t have to prove

'Cause somebody will see

All my worth but until then

I’ll do just fine on my own

With my cigarettes

And this old dirt road
