"The First Thing Smokin'" lyrics

All they sold was a one-way ticket
'Cause you don't come back from here
I ran all night with the damned and the wicked
Tryin' to break out into the clear

I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Yeah, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride

Now, my path was laid on a star-crossed night
As Satan showed his hand
I heard angels weep as they watched the plight
Of a soul without a chance

I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Hey, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride
Huh! Huh!

From an empty grave on the other side
I could hear the demons wail
The truth I sought came wrapped in lies
With the postage due in Hell

Oh, I caught the first thing smokin' (Ooh, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Yeah, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride
Huh! Huh!

You were just seventeen
Do you know what I mean?

Oh, oh, I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Hey, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride
Huh! Huh!
