SMOKIN’ AND DRINKIN'

© Ron Burres

BEEN SMOKING AND DRINKIN, TIL MY MINDS IN A FOG

MY BODY’S SO TIRED, IT FEELS LIKE A LOG

I’M LOST IN A STUPOR FROM NOT ENOUGH SLEEP

AND YOU WANT TO TALK, OH GOD LET ME SLEEP

‘CAUSE IT’S TO LATE NOW AND I’M ALL DONE IN

AND I HAVEN’T THE STRENGTH TO ARGUE AGAIN

AND SMOKIN AND DRINKINS’S THE ONLY WAY HOW

TO STOP ALL THE PAIN THAT I’M FEELIN NOW

CHORUS: Smokin and drinkin, till my minds in a fog

               My body’s so numb, I can’t feel it at all.

               So many things runnin’ through my mind that won’t stop

               But honey you’re right there, you’re the one at the top.

BEEN SITTIN HERE TALKIN ALL NIGHT LONG,

TRYIN’ TO MAKE RIGHT WHEN I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S WRONG

THE WORDS THAT WE SPEAK DON’T MEAN A DAMN THING

CAUSE WE CAN’T GET DOWN, TO THE REAL HURTIN THING

AND SMOKIN AND DRINKIN THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW

TO STOP ALL THE PAIN THAT I’M FEELIN’ NOW

JUST SMOKIN’ AND DRINKIN TILL MY MINDS IN A FOG

THE HURTINS ALL GONE I CAN’T FEEL IT AT ALL

CHORUS: Smokin and drinkin, till my minds in a fog

               My body’s so numb, I can’t feel it at all.

               So many things runnin’ through my mind that won’t stop

               But honey you’re right there, you’re the one at the top.

BEEN WISHING AND WANTING FOR SOMETHING TO CHANGE

THAT SOMETHING  COULD STOP US FROM CAUSIN’ THIS PAIN

AND SMOKIN’ AND DRINKIN’S  THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW

AND SMOKIN AND DRINKIN’S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW NOW, THE ONLY WAY I KNOW NOW
