Kool Miles

What were those nasty cigarettes

That you used to smoke?

In 1992, when we first met

You know me and Kay were laughing

Yeah, but you didn't get the joke

Wisely skeptical

Hadn't made your mind up yet

You smoked Kool Milds

Kool Milds, you smoked Kool Milds

All that menthol in the air

Kool Milds

Kool Milds, you smoked Kool Milds

So you wouldn't have to share

We'll blame it on your sister, Darcy

Or that bartender at the Wing

We'll blame it on Branford

Back when he was playing with Sting

We'll blame it on those sweet, thick

Charleston, lovely summer nights

That took all your stupid law school dreams

And hid 'em out of sight

You smoked Kool Milds

Kool Milds, you smoked Kool Milds

All that menthol in the air

Kool Milds

Kool Milds, you smoked Kool Milds

So you wouldn't have to share

We would wait until afternoon showers

Washed the pine dust into the pond

Then we'd play to the girls from Ohio

With them streaks of southern blond

Thirty years have gone by me

Goddamn, where'd it go?

Robbie said it's impossible

What the hell does he know?

We'll take this ol' waltz of his

Hope mine never ends

I'll stay out here on the road

Making music with my friends

These have been kool miles

Kool miles, these have been kool miles

I'd do 'em again, and again, and again, and

Kool miles

Kool miles, these have been kool miles

I'd do 'em again, and again, and again, and

Kool miles

Kool miles, these have been kool miles, my friend
