I don´t know why I´m here again
These kinda places do me in
All the habits I thought I kicked
But there´s nothing like a Friday night

A little smoke gettin´ in my eyes
Neon blue and Marlboro Red

And I´m strong enough to give up
Until it hits my lips
There´s that flame again
That was always lit
Why we gotta miss
The things we quit?

Well, I gave up drinkin´ yesterday
At six o´clock, again at eight
And two or three more times before dawn
As far as that wagon goes
Someone needs to pave the road
It´s hard as hell to stay on

I´m strong enough to give it up
Until it hits my lips
And there´s that flame again
That was always lit
Why we gotta miss
The things we quit?

Nothing like a little lonesome
To get your jones up
For a little strong somethin´
To get you through the night
Thought our on again was off again
´Til the second she came walkin´ in
Oughta have a warnin´ label on that dress
With her eyes kryptonite green

No matter what she´s askin´ me
The answer is always yes

I´m strong enough to give it up
Until it hits my lips
There´s that flame again
That was always lit
Why we gotta miss
The things we quit?
