Smoke Break

Carrie Underwood

6

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 never taking nothing and doing nothing but giving

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

She said, I don't drink

But sometimes I need a stiff drink

Sipping from a highball 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

He's a big-city, hard-working man just trying to climb the 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, 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

Yeah, when things get tough

Sometimes I need a smoke break, yeah

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

Yeah, and I don't smoke

But sometimes I need a long drag

Yeah, I know it might sound bad

But sometimes I need a, sometimes I need a

When the day gets long

When the work's all done

When the sun sets

When you need to forget

Grab that cup,

Fill it up

Sip it slow

And let it all go
