I drink to remember, I smoke to forget

Some things to be proud of, some stuff to regret

Run down some dark alleys in my own head

Something is changing, changing, changing

I go back to Clifton to see my old friends

The best people I could ever have met

Skin up a fat one, hide from the Feds

Something is changing, changing, changing

So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain

Light a cigarette and wish the world away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay

So I hold two fingers up to yesterday

Light a cigarette and smoke it all away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay

He's down in the kitchen, drinking White Lightning

He's with my momma, they're yelling and fighting

And it's not the first time praying for silence

But something is changing, changing, changing

So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain

Light a cigarette and wish the world away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay

So I hold two fingers up to yesterday

Light a cigarette and smoke it all away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay

There's a story for every corner of this place

Running so hard, you got out, but your knees got grazed

I'm an old dog but I learned some new tricks yeah

So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain

Light a cigarette and wish the world away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay

So I hold two fingers up to yesterday

Light a cigarette and smoke it all away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay

Hey, hey it's fine

Hey, hey it's fine

Hey, hey it's fine

I left it behind
