She Went Out For Cigarettes
Chely Wright Lyrics
He was glued to the T.V.
When she asked him for the keys
Said, "I'm going to the market
Is there anything you need?"
The first quarter was underway
He never missed a play
She pulled out of the driveway
Took a left at the light
Didn't stop at the market
Across the railroad tracks
She never once looked back
She went out for cigarettes
And just kept driving on
He didn't even know it yet
Bur she's gone
As far away as she can get
Passed the point of no regret
She went out for cigarettes
And just kept driving on
Half time is over
The sun is sinking low
It's almost time for supper
But there is nothing on the stove
He looks up from his easy chair
He just noticed she's not there
She made a stop at the bank
Took out some cash
Now she's racing down the highway
On a full tank of gas
As fast as she can go
To where she does not know
She went out for cigarettes
And just kept driving on
He didn't even know it yet
Bur she's gone
As far away as she can get
Passed the point of no regret
She went out for cigarettes
And just kept driving on
She went out for cigarettes
And drove on

why would anyone want to comment on a person's sexual preference, especially about 'being gay' when I always felt like this song was an amazing testiment for perhaps a battered woman or neglected one...... thats what I liked about IT!

gay or not she is one of the most beautiful ladies in the world.

Can we just talk about how fucking STUNNING the song is? The lyric weaves a tale of slowly unfolding heartbreak, until she decides she's had enough and leaves, never to come back. But the music shoulders the weight of the song. A delicate piano underscores Chely's heartfelt contralto, but the plaintive pedal steel and winding acoustic/electric guitars map out the steely strength in the melody, while the bass and drums echo a teary-eyed goodbye. This song is the reason I still listen to country, and one of the main songs I come to when I seek a hit of beautifully melodic melancholy.

Good song! I've always liked Chely Wright. The Caprice wagon was a common mom car in the 1980s. Those station wagons always take me back.
