Smoke Break Lyrics

She's a small-town, hard-working woman
just trying to make a living
Working three jobs, feeding four little mouths
in a run-down kitchen
When you never taking nothing
and doing nothing but giving
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"
"Sipping 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-working man
just trying to climb the ladder
First generation to go to college
instead of driving a tractor
Never had nothing handed
to him on a silver platter
It's hard to be a good man, good son,
do something 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
Sipping 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, mmm
Fill it up
Sip it slow
And let it all go
