Smoke Break lyrics - Carrie Underwood

She's a small-town, hard-workin' woman

Just tryna make a livin'

Workin' three jobs, feeding four little mouths

In a run-down kitchen

When you're 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 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

Sipping 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
