Lies and Cigarettes - Ron Pope

It was a warm day

In the middle of a cold winter

She was a good girl

Gave her heart to a wandering sinner

I couldn't say if I loved her

Or if we were not there yet

We were young

And living

On lies and cigarettes

Last thing I remember

Snow began to fall

She went out to get some air

Said she didn't want to talk

I lost my mind out on that highway

Never really came back home

She said she loved the boy I used to be

Then the conversation stalled

It was a warm day

In the middle of the cold winter

She was a good girl

Gave her heart to a wandering sinner

I couldn't say if I loved her

Or if we were not there yet

We were young

And living

On lies and cigarettes

I wish I could paint her picture

But I do not know how

I heard she moved back to Omaha

And works for her father now

So I dial most of her number

And then I change my mind

Our friends say she's doing better now

So I let her live her life

It was a warm day

In the middle of a cold winter

She was a good girl

Gave her heart to a wandering sinner

I couldn't say if I loved her

Or if we were not there yet

We were young

And living

On lies and cigarettes

It was a warm day

In the middle of a cold winter

She was a good girl

Gave her heart to a wandering sinner

I couldn't say if I love her

Or if we were not there yet

We were young

And living

On lies and cigarettes
