Carrie Underwood Lyrics
"Smoke Break"

[Carrie Underwood]
She's a small town hard working woman
Just trying to make a living
Working three jobs, feeding four little mouths in a run down kitchen
When you're never taking nothing
And doing nothing but giving
It's hard to be a good wife
And a good mom and a good Christian

Saying I don't drink
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
Sipping from a highball glass
Let the world fade away
Saying I don't smoke
But sometimes I need a long drag
Yeah I know it might sound bad
But sometimes I need a smoke break

He's a big city hard working man
Just trying to climb a ladder
First generation to go to college
Instead of driving a tractor
Never had nothing handed to him on a silver platter
It's hard to be a good man, a good son
Do something good that matters

He said I don't drink
But sometimes I wanna pop that top
Take a swig and make the world stop
And watch it fade away
He said I don't smoke
But sometimes I wanna light it up
And when things get tough
Sometimes I need a smoke break

So here's to you
And here's to when the day gets long
Go ahead I understand if you wanna take a load off

I don't drink
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
Sipping from a highball glass
Let the world fade away
I don't smoke
But sometimes I need a long drag
Yeah I know it might sound bad
But sometimes I need a smoke break

When the day gets long
When the words are turning
When the sun sets
When you need to forget
Grab that cup
Fill it up
Sip it slow
And let it all go away
