"Liquor & Cigarettes" lyrics

If this bottle don't kill me
Then your memory will
I've been running from the devil
Finding my peace in a little blue pill
God, if you can hear me
I probably won't last another day
I've been making the same old mistakes
That put me here in the first place

Living on liquor and cigarettes
'Cause when that smoke burns in my chest
I can breathe for the first time
And I can slow down my mind
When I'm throwing back hundred proof
There ain't no thoughts of me and you
Don't wanna hear your fucking name
I'd rather drown out this pain
With liquor and cigarettes (Liquor and some cigarettes)
Liquor and cigarettes (Liquor and some cigarettes)

I know I ain't crossed your mind
Bet you're making your rounds 'round this whole town
Probably tell 'em you're doing just fine
While I'm over here, just sipping the clear
Knowing that drink leads to smoke, smoke leads to drinking
Hop in the truck, I'm not even thinking where I'm headed now
Or what the hell am I doing now

Living on liquor and cigarettes
'Cause when that smoke burns in my chest
I can breathe for the first time
And I can slow down my mind
When I'm throwing back hundred proof
There ain't no thoughts of me and you
Don't wanna hear your fucking name
I'd rather drown out this pain
With liquor and cigarettes (Liquor and some cigarettes)
Liquor and cigarettes (Liquor and some cigarettes)

I've been telling myself
That this'll be the last damn night
Of putting that bottle through hell
And I think it's 'bout damn time

'Cause liquor and cigarettes
All that smoke up in my chest
It don't feel like the first time
That it's been weighing on my mind
'Cause when I'm throwing back hundred proof
I'm still thinking about you
All I hear is your fucking name
It just ain't drowning out this pain
With liquor and cigarettes, liquor and some cigarettes
Liquor and cigarettes (Liquor and some cigarettes)
