VERSE
Started when I was a boy
Pickin on my porch all day
All my friends were come on bye
Wontch ya come out and play
Growin up they all believed
One day I’d be on TV
Playin old country melodies
CHORUS
Got my whiskey and my cigarettes
Somehow I just can’t resist
Pickin up my guitar
Gonna be a country star
Tomorrow I’ll be coming back
Tonight I’m with my good friend Jack
Got my whiskey and my cigarettes
VERSE
At 17 I hit the road
Every city a one nite show
Wonderin if I’m ever gonna
Make it out of these dam bars
Mama said that it’s from the past
But if ya learn to play blue grass
You’ll be the best on that guitar
CHORUS
Got my whiskey and my cigarettes
Somehow I just can’t resist
Pickin up my guitar
Gonna be a country star
Tomorrow I’ll be coming back
Tonight I’m with my good friend Jack
Got my whiskey and my cigarettes
BRIDGE
When you make the stage your home
After the last song when they’re gone
Back on the bus
We’re packed up
Movin on
The road’s where I belong
CHORUS
All the whiskey and those cigarettes
Somehow I just got to resist
The drinkin and the smokin
Its gotta go
I’m on the radio
I’ll be comin back
I’m givin up my good friend Jack
No more whiskey
And those cigarettes
No I ain’t doin that
Ain’t doin that no more
No more
No more
I ain’t doin that no more
