"She Smoked In The House" lyrics
She smoked in the house
Burnt holes in the couch
Lipstick-circled butts in the ashtray
She saved in Folgers cans
Swore credit was a scam
Bought everything at Sears on layaway
She was Ford over a Chevy
Pepsi over Coke
Country or western, Owens or Jones
That kitchen radio was playin' loud
She smoked in the house
Wouldn't throw nothin' out
She'd cut the mold off cantaloupe and cheese
The Farmer's Almanac
Told her when to plant
Petunias, potatoes and peas
She was never take a handout always stand up for the flag
Country and western, Loretta and Hag
That kitchen radio was singin' loud
And I hate cigarettes
But I miss all that smoke
That my grandma blew
Back when I grew up
With her and that radio
She smoked in the house
She'd laughed and crush one out
Light another and put coffee in her cream
And it's 1984
And I'm asking for one more
Story when I see her in my dreams
Burnt holes in the couch
Lipstick-circled butts in the ashtray
She saved in Folgers cans
Swore credit was a scam
Bought everything at Sears on layaway
She was Ford over a Chevy
Pepsi over Coke
Country or western, Owens or Jones
That kitchen radio was playin' loud
She smoked in the house
Wouldn't throw nothin' out
She'd cut the mold off cantaloupe and cheese
The Farmer's Almanac
Told her when to plant
Petunias, potatoes and peas
She was never take a handout always stand up for the flag
Country and western, Loretta and Hag
That kitchen radio was singin' loud
And I hate cigarettes
But I miss all that smoke
That my grandma blew
Back when I grew up
With her and that radio
She smoked in the house
She'd laughed and crush one out
Light another and put coffee in her cream
And it's 1984
And I'm asking for one more
Story when I see her in my dreams
