Girls Who Smoke Songtext
von Drive‐By Truckers

I can tell by her lips, she′s got fucked up teeth
Gotta banged up grill like she just hit a deer
In a while she'll go down in a tent with a bloke
You know what they say about girls who smoke

It′s festival season and all around the UK
They're herding the kids like cattle
All the blogs are alive and the fans 're all stoked
You know what they say about girls who smoke

We′re parked at the venue the driver will skin you
If you paper or do number two in the loo
It smells so bad, as it is you could choke
Outside there′s mud and rain, and girls who smoke
Girls who smoke
Girls who smoke


It's August and freezin′, the headliner's cheesy
The porta-potties are shakin′ and wheezing
The catering sucks and vendors blow
It's the middle of the afternoon
Drink like it0s midnight, time for the show

But the kids keep comin′ and thank God for 'em
Lasses with passes and dudes 'round the corner
It′s stormin′ in Stafford and everything's soaked
You know what they say about

Girls who smoke
Girls who smoke
And fuck ′em if they can't take a joke

Do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do-do-do
Do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do

So this has been really special, tonight′s festival
The whole weekend's been just fantastic for us
And like I said, we′re recording it, we're makin' a live record
We′ve been wantin′ to do that a really long time
And now is just the time
This weekend is the night
