Cigarettes Lyrics
Got my headlights shining
Down an old dirt road
Smoke my cigarettes
I should quit, I know
The radio's playing
Old country songs
Someone's leaving, Someone's Cheating
On and on
I think I might like
The quiet nights
of this empy life
'Cause Someday maybe
Somebody will love me like I need
And someday I won't have to prove
'Cause somebody will see
All my worth but until then I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road
See I left another
Good man tonight
I wonder if he'll miss me
Lord knows I tried
But I think that maybe
The thing that I did wrong
Was put up with his bullshit
For far too long
I think I might like
The quiet nights
of this empy life
'Cause Someday maybe
Somebody will love me like I need
And someday I won't have to prove
'Cause somebody will see
All my worth but until then I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road
I ain't gonna sleep
I ain't gonna dream
About the things I used to need
I ain't gonna cry
Or go on living lies
I'm just gonna drive
'Cause Someday maybe
And someday I won't have to prove
All my worth but until then I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road
'Cause Someday maybe
Somebody will love me like I need
And someday I won't have to prove
'Cause somebody will see
All my worth but until then I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road
Down an old dirt road
Smoke my cigarettes
I should quit, I know
Old country songs
Someone's leaving, Someone's Cheating
On and on
The quiet nights
of this empy life
Somebody will love me like I need
And someday I won't have to prove
'Cause somebody will see
All my worth but until then I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road
Good man tonight
I wonder if he'll miss me
Lord knows I tried
The thing that I did wrong
Was put up with his bullshit
For far too long
The quiet nights
of this empy life
Somebody will love me like I need
And someday I won't have to prove
'Cause somebody will see
All my worth but until then I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road
I ain't gonna dream
About the things I used to need
I ain't gonna cry
Or go on living lies
I'm just gonna drive
And someday I won't have to prove
All my worth but until then I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road
Somebody will love me like I need
And someday I won't have to prove
'Cause somebody will see
All my worth but until then I'll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road

There really is nothing like a solitary cigarette while you're tooling down a two-lane dirt highway, the sun beating down on your knuckles as they grip the elongated steering wheel of a '54 Caddy... Just f*ckin' drive
she just got out of a bad relationship and she would rather be alone then deal with someone who doesnt respect her. she is obviously hurt because she is smoking, doesnt want to sleep, and wonders if he misses her..but sometimes things are just better when you're alone..
I really relate to this song right now. I think it's just about realizing that people aren't what you thought they were. You aren't the problem, they are. It's hopeful though. I know I'm just fine driving and smoking on my own.
I have never related to a song more in my life!! She just got out of a very dysfunctional relationship with a guy who didn't appreciate or respect her and, even though she knew it all along, she couldn't bring herself to get out of the relationship for a long time because she was so comfortable. So she just kept putting up with his "bullshit." She finally had enough and ended it and now she's alone and she obviously misses him and wonders if he misses her. She's hurting... but not nearly as much as she was when she was with him. So she's just gonna try to work through it and hope she find someone who truly appreciates her someday. :(:(
Its funny cause this CD came out when i was going through a break up... and it was playing randomly and it was the most perfect song as i drove away from a bad realationship smoking a square. Great song.
Maybe he did his bullshit because he thinks smoking is disgusting and wanted her to quit doing it ("I should quit, I know") if that is what caused the relationship to end. It sounds like its's about an addict who had gotten out of a relationship with a man who happened to be one of those types of people who thinks that smoking is disgusting and he kept telling her she had to quit ("I should quit, I know" again). If something else ended the relationship in case the man either was a smoker also or was a hypocrite who made her quit when he did it himself, then she's just taking his rejection out on her lungs.
