Carrie Underwood - Smoke Break (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]

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 wife and a good Christian

[Chorus]

She said, "I don't drink"

"But sometimes I need a stiff drink"

"Sipping 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 2]

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

[Chorus]

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"

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

I don't drink

But sometimes I need a stiff drink

Sipping from a high, full 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

[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
