Carrie Underwood - Smoke Break lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

She's a small-town, hard-workin woman just tryin to make it livin

Working w jobs, feedin 4 little mouths in a run-down kitchen

When you never takin nothin and doin nothing but givin

It's hard to be a good wife and a good mom and a good Christian

(Hook 1)

She said, "I don't drink"

"But sometimes I need a stiff drink"

"Sippin from a high, full glass"

"Let the world fade away"

She said, "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"

(Verse)

He's a big-city, hard-workin man just tryin to climb the ladder

First generation to go to college instead of drivin a tractor

Never had nothin handed to him on a silver platter

It's hard to be a good man, good son, do somethin good that matters

(Hook 2)

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"

"Yeah, when things get tough"

"Sometimes I need a smoke break, yeah"

(Verse)

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

(Hook 1)

(Bridge - Outro)

When the day gets long

When the work's all done

When the sun sets

When you need to forget

Grab that cup, mmm

Fill it up

Sip it slow

And let it all go
