lyrics
I asked the man behind the counter for a pack of cigarettes
tried quittin' long ago but I get this craving now and then…
it’s more than just a habit
at this point I’ve gotta have it
I can’t control myself
yeah I know all the consequences
just gotta get this out of my system
even though it hurts more than it helps
I swore that I would never start
but I struck a match and lit one up
reigniting memories
praying you’ll come back to me
if only I could drag this out
and keep your flame alive somehow
but I come to my senses in the end
I’m hooked once again
on these damned ol' cigarettes
so if I feel like cryin'
I can blame the smoke in my eyes
as I watch each one burn down
I won’t stop until it fills the room
'cause the scent of Parliament perfume
is the only fix for what I’m feeling now
I swore that I would never start
but I struck a match and lit one up
reigniting memories
praying you’ll come back to me
if only I could drag this out
and keep your flame alive somehow
but I come to my senses in the end
I’m hooked once again
on these damned ol' cigarettes
I asked the man behind the counter for a pack of cigarettes
tried quittin’ long ago but I get this craving now and then…

One of the best folk-country albums I’ve heard in years. Great singing & playing, and superb songwriting with clever turns of a lyric. Brennen just does everything really really well! Cas P
