Smoke Smoke Smoke
Texas Lightning Lyrics

I'm a guy with a heart of gold
I am a good-hearted person.

With the reasons of a gentleman I've been told
Others have told me that I am a gentleman.

A kind of a fellow that wouldn't even harm a flea
I am gentle and would never harm anyone, not even a tiny flea.

But if me and a certain character met
If I met a certain person,

The man that invented the cigarette
The person who invented cigarettes,

I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree
I would kill him with no hesitation.

That ain't that I don't smoke myself
It's not that I don't smoke cigarettes,

And I don't reckon they'll injure your health
I don't think they will harm your health.

But I'm smoking for 25 years and I ain't dead yet
I've been smoking for 25 years and I'm still alive.

But nicotine slaves are all the same
People addicted to nicotine are all alike.

At a pheasant party or a poker game
At social events like dinner parties or card games,

Everythin's gotta stop when they have that cigarette
Everything comes to a halt when a nicotine addict needs to smoke a cigarette.

Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette.

Puff puff puff
Inhale repeatedly on the cigarette.

And if you puff yourself to death
And if you smoke yourself to death,

Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate
When you reach heaven, tell St. Peter at the gates,

That you hate to make him wait
That you don't want to keep him waiting.

You just gotta have another cigarette
You just can't resist having another cigarette.

Now at a game of chance the other night
During a game of cards recently,

Ol' Dame Forson wasn't doin' me right
I was not having any luck with the cards.

Them kings and queens just kept on comin' round
I kept getting kings and queens dealt to me.

But I played thr rule and I bet it high
I followed the rules of the game and bet a high amount.

But my plug didn't work on a certain guy
My strategy did not work on one particular player.

He just kept a risin' and a layin' that money down
He kept raising his bets.

Well he's raise me and I'd raise him
He raised his bet and I raised mine.

I sweated blood I had to sink or swim
I was under a lot of pressure and had to either succeed or fail.

He finally called and he didn't raise the bet
He matched my bet without raising it.

I said "aces is full pal how about you?"
I said, "I have a full house of aces, how about you?"

He said "I'll tell you in a minute or two
He said, "I'll let you know in a moment or two."

Right now I just gotta have another of my cigarette"
But right now, I need to smoke another cigarette."

The other night I had a date with
The other night, I went on a date with

The cutest gal in the fiftfirst states
The most beautiful girl in the fifty-first states.

A highbred uptown social little dame
A refined, sophisticated lady.

She said she loved me and it seemed to me
She told me she loved me and I thought she meant it.

That things were like they oughta be
That everything was going well.

So hand in hand we strolled down Lover's Lane
We walked together holding hands down a romantic road.

She was oh so far from a chunk of ice
She was very warm and affectionate.

And our smoochin' party was a goin' real nice
We were having a great time kissing and cuddling.

So help and I'd've been there yet
We would have continued, but

But I give her a hug and a little squeeze
But I hugged her and gave her a small squeeze.

And she said
And she said,

"Johnny excuse me please
"Excuse me, Johnny,

Right now I gotta have a lot of your cigarettes"
But right now, I need to smoke a lot of cigarettes."

You gotta smoke!
You just have to smoke!
