Cigarette

by Vaetion Chin

Got my headlights shining

Down an old dirt road

Smoke my cigarettes

I should quit, I know

The radio s playing

Old country songs

Someone s leaving, someone s cheating,

On and on

I think I might like

The quiet nights,

Of this empty life

Cause someday maybe

Somebody will love me like I need

And someday I won t have to prove

Cause somebody will see

All my worth but until then

I ll do just fine on my own

With my cigarettes

And this old dirt road

See I left another

Good man tonight

I wonder if he ll miss me

Lord knows I tried

But I think that maybe

The thing that I did wrong

Was put up with this bullshit

For far too long

I ain t gonna sleep

I don t wanna dream

About the things that I used to need

I aint gonna cry

Or go on living lies

I m just gonna drive

Cause someday

Maybe somebody will love me

All my worth

But until then I ll do just fine on my own

With my cigarettes and this old
