These cigarettes are going to kill me
Oh, Lord, I wish they just would
'Cause I can't go on living
If I keep on getting stoned

This bourbon, if you ask them
Ain't causing me nothing but harm
But if you want my opinion
I'd say it's just part of my charm

[Chorus:]
Go on and tie me down
If you want to
Honey, this ain't love
But it'll do for now
Running away never got me nowhere
But you always break my heart, babe
When I stick around

Well, I've been having one of them days, Lord
Maybe I should take another pill
'Cause all my friends say the drugs will change me
But I'm hoping that they will

[Chorus]
These cigarettes are going to kill me
Oh, Lord, I wish they just would...
