Cigarettes (Acoustic)

Cigarettes, take one

I was all of seventeen

Going bad boy crazy

Podunk county beauty queen

And not your auburn-headed baby

You kicked me out, I packed my bags

Hair dyed dollar store jet black

You played "Jesus Take the Wheel" every day till I came back

I learned sometimes your first don't last

I learned to scream, I learned to laugh

I learned to live with my regrets

I learned I hate, I hate cigarettes

I was all of twenty-three

Didn't know what I didn't know

They swore I'd be the next big thing

But the room was full of smoke

Had to watch my dream fall through

I gave myself a day or two

And the same champagne that they bought me

I popped it when they dropped me

I learned sometimes your first don't last

I learned to scream, I learned to laugh

I learned to live with my regrets

I learned I hate, I hate cigarettes

Oh, oh, oh

I remember thirteen

Tip toes in the deep end

And the smell of Marlboro Reds every once in a weekend

I learned sometimes your first don't last

I learned to scream, I learned to laugh

I learned to live with my regrets

I learned I hate, I hate cigarettes
