Smoke Break Songtext
von Carrie Underwood

She′s a small-town, hard-workin' woman just trying to make a living
Working three jobs, feedin′ four little mouths in a run-down kitchen
When you never takin' nothin' and doin′ nothin′ but givin'
It′s hard to be a good wife and a good mom and a good Christian

She said, "I don't drink
"But sometimes I need a stiff drink"
"Sippin′ from a highball glass"
"Let the world fade away"
She said, "I don't smoke"
"But sometimes I need a long drag"
"Yeah, I know it might sound bad"
"But sometimes I need a smoke break"

He′s a big-city, hard-workin' man just tryna' to climb the ladder
First generation to go to college instead of drivin′ a tractor
Never had nothin′ handed to him on a silver platter
It's hard to be a good man, good son, do somethin′ good that matters


He said, "I don't drink"
"But sometimes I wanna pop that top"
"Take a swig and make the world stop"
"And watch it fade away"
He said, "I don′t smoke"
"But sometimes I wanna light it up"
"Yeah, when things get tough"
"Sometimes I need a smoke break"
Yeah

So here's to you and here′s to when the day gets long
Go ahead, I understand if you wanna take a load off

I don't drink
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
Sippin' from a highball glass
Let the world fade away
Yeah, and I don′t smoke
But sometimes I need a long drag
Yeah, I know it might sound bad
But sometimes I need a, sometimes I need a-

When the day gets long
When the work′s all done
When the sun sets
When you need to forget
Grab that cup, mmm
Fill it up
Sip it slow
And let it all go
Ooh
