Back In This Cigarette Lyrics
It's two a.m. in my new home this motel room
An ash tray full of Lucky Strikes
A Half spent case of warm Bud Lite
Counting regets...fighting back tears
Retracin' steps...gettin' nowhere
(Chorus)
Callin' your name it's a waste of my breath
There's no reachin' you across this cold and empty bed
Stirrin' up ashes, tryin' to find passion
Where theres no love left
It's like tryin' to put smoke back in this cigarette
Come sunrise guess I'll check out and ditch this town
Put a few more miles between us
And keep drivin' til I finally mend this broken trust
Hangin' my hopes on highway signs
If I lie here I'll lose my mind
(Chorus)
Callin' your name it's a waste of my breath
There's no reachin' you across this cold and empty bed
Stirrin' up ashes, tryin' to find passion
Where theres no love left
It's like tryin' to put smoke back in this cigarette
I may never know your reasons why
But someday I'm gonna see the good in your goodbye
(Chorus)
Callin' your name it's a waste of my breath
There's no reachin' you across this empty bed
Stirrin' up ashes, tryin' to find passion
Where theres no love left
It's like tryin' to put smoke back in this cigarette...
An ash tray full of Lucky Strikes
A Half spent case of warm Bud Lite
Counting regets...fighting back tears
Retracin' steps...gettin' nowhere
Callin' your name it's a waste of my breath
There's no reachin' you across this cold and empty bed
Stirrin' up ashes, tryin' to find passion
Where theres no love left
It's like tryin' to put smoke back in this cigarette
Put a few more miles between us
And keep drivin' til I finally mend this broken trust
Hangin' my hopes on highway signs
If I lie here I'll lose my mind
Callin' your name it's a waste of my breath
There's no reachin' you across this cold and empty bed
Stirrin' up ashes, tryin' to find passion
Where theres no love left
It's like tryin' to put smoke back in this cigarette
But someday I'm gonna see the good in your goodbye
Callin' your name it's a waste of my breath
There's no reachin' you across this empty bed
Stirrin' up ashes, tryin' to find passion
Where theres no love left
It's like tryin' to put smoke back in this cigarette...

This song is about a relationship gone bad. The girl he was broke it off. He is moving on and just wants to leave town. "Hanging my hopes on highway signs." Everything he wanted or dreamed about he has to leave behind while driving on the highway. He explains there is no way he can get the love back. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. Just like putting smoke back in a cigarette.
To me, this song is about a girl that you have spent time with; put yourself out there to, she possibly has something else on her mind or something else that she wants and cuts you off/tells you goodbye. Later finding in yourself that it's all for the better because there's more out there for you.
This is am amazing song. I think its about a girl saying bye and this guy is still holdimg on.
