SMOKE! SMOKE! SMOKE! THAT CIGARETTE. Writer Merle Travis. . Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold And the ways of a gentleman I've been told Kind-of-a-guy that wouldn't even harm a flea But if me and a certain character met The guy that invented that cigarette I'd murder that son-of-a gun in the first degree It ain't 'cause I don't smoke 'em myself and i don't reckon that it'll hinder your health I smoked 'em all my life and I ain't dead yet But nicotine slaves are all the same at a pettin' party or a poker game Everything gotta stop while they have a cigarette CHORUS Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette Puff, puff, puff until you smoke yourself to death. Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate That you hate to make him wait, But you just gotta have another cigarette. In a game of chance the other night Old dame fortune was good and right The kings and queens they kept on comin' around Aw, I was hittin' em good and bettin' 'em high But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy He kept callin' and layin' his money down See, he'd raise me then I'd raise him and I'd say to him buddy ya gotta sink or swim Finally called me but didn't raise the bet! --Hmmph! I said Aces Full Pal -- I got you! He said, "I'll pay up in a minute or two But right now, i just gotta have another cigarette." CHORUS Now the other night I had a date with the cutest little gal in the forty-eight states A high-bred, uptown, fancy little dame She said she loved me and it seemd to me That things were sorta like they oughtta be So hand in hand we strolled down lovers lane She was a long way from a chunk of ice And our pettin' party was goin' real nice And I got an idea I might have been there yet So I give her a kiss and a little squeeze Then she said, Excuse me Please But I just gotta have a cigarette." CHORUS.
I'm glad I got to see you once again. Although we're through I still love you. I guess I'll have to call you just a friend. 'Cause someone new has just stepped in.

We're traveling down two different roads in world so far apart. You want me yet there's something else before me in your heart. You're wanting me to change my life the way you're living yours.
Tonight we're gonna get this. Tonight we're gonna get this. Tonight we're gonna get this. We're gonna get this, we're gonna get this. . I can hear you crankin' up them speakers.
Gone are the days of my past,. Gone are the days of my childhood innocence,. Gone are the days of my first and last.. Gone are the days of being carefree,.
Hey, Mister Bartender. Please don't be so slow. I got time for one more round. And a six pack to go. . Tomorrow mornin's Sunday. I'm gonna be feelin' low.
Tonight I'm sad, my heart is weary. I'm wond'ring if I'm wrong or right. Altho' you've gone and found another. I wonder where you are tonight. . (Chorus).
She's gotta do what she's gotta do. And I've gotta like it or not. She's got dreams too big for this town. And she needs to give 'em a shot. Whatever they are.
SIX DAYS ON THE ROAD. Writers Earl Green, Carl Montgomery. . Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh Rollin' down the Eastern Seaboard I've got my diesel wound up And she's running like never before There's a speed zone ahead, all right I don't see a cop in sight Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight I got ten forward gears And a Georgia overdrive I'm taking little white pills And my eyes are open wide I just passed a 'Gimmy' and a 'White' I've been passin' everything in sight Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight Well, it seems like a month Since I kissed my baby good-bye I could have a lot of women But I'm not like some other guys I could find one to hold me tight But I could never believe that it's right Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight I.C.C. is checking on down the line I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind But nothing bothers me tonight I can dodge all the scales all right Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight Well my rig's a little old But that don't mean she's slow There's a flame from her stack And the smoke's rolling black as coal My hometown's coming in sight If you think I'm happy your right Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight.
Some folks like to wish upon a little silver star. Others wish upon that big old moon. If you want to make a wish and have that wish come true. Let me tell you, I should know because one night in June.
I'm kind of ordinary. To me you were sort of scary. But you seemed to like me. And it don't happen that much. . So I threw caution to the wind. Gave you one half-hearted grin.
Sing me something sentimental. Make it anything that's blue. Sing it sweet and sing it tender. Just the way she used to do. . If I cry take no attention.
Don't call me, leave me alone. Not gonna answer my phone. 'Cause I don't, no, I won't see you. . I'm out to have a good time. To get you off of my mind.
I wish my heart could talk to you like I do every night. When we're apart you know it's true I love you every night. You'd come running back and never leave me feeling blue.
