I've played every honky tonk and roadside bar and juke joint
Between here and Minneapolis
You know I've lived these miles
With a haggard band behind me, risin' smoke
I picked up the guitar 'round the time I turned fourteen
Played that fire and burnin' tires, hard booze both hands in gasoline
Stayin' wired, we'd come back down the best that we know how
We know now
We're all tryin' to quit smokin'
Tired of laughin', tired of jokin'
'Bout the habits we all have
Slowly creepin' up
We all gotta die for somethin'
Livin' kills you, life is tough
I can't quit 'cause I can't quit enough
I felt all the pressures playin' to an empty room
And the pleasures of the crowd that's singin' loud to every word to all my songs
But keep rollin' on
We're all tryin' to quit smokin'
Tired of laughin', tired of jokin'
'Bout the habits we all have
Slowly creepin' up
We all gotta die for somethin'
Livin' kills you, life is tough
I can't quit 'cause I can't quit enough
We're all tryin' to quit smokin'
Tired of laughin', tired of jokin'
'Bout the habits we all have
Slowly creepin' up
We all gotta die for somethin'
Livin' kills you, life is tough
I can't quit 'cause I can't quit enough
No I'll never quit 'cause I can't quit enough
