ANOTHER CIGARETTE by Tom Jensen
Another sleepless night as rain falls from the sky
Another cigarette as I ask myself why
What have I done that’s been keeping me awake
It’s not like I’m a bad man, never a life I did take
Grab a beer from the fridge for it helps me to think
Though I doubt it’ll make me tired it’s my last drink
Looking through an open window at the cars passing by
Another cigarette as I ask myself why
Could be depression or it could be something more
Not sure why I’m down there’s a lot I’m thankful for
I’ve done more in twenty years than some in a whole life
I’ve already found a beautiful girl who’d make a beautiful wife
She’s been gone a week but she’ll be back here in a day
I’d tell you all about her but my love is more than I can say
Another cigarette as I ask myself why
Why I feel low when I should be high
For the first time in a while I’ve got myself on track
The only time I can remember that they’ve cut me some slack
I’m now moving forward rather than turning back
How come I can’t get to sleep every time I hit the sack?
Another cigarette, I know I should quite but I tried
Why do I feel like this, like I want to go and hide?
I look okay to you ‘cause you can’t see inside
When I say I got something to do then you know I lied
I’m the new chairman of the bored ‘cause Frank Sinatra died
