Kicking My Butt
I have a lighter in my back pocket
Right next to your picture in a heart shaped locket
As I watch the circled rings of smoke filter the air
I stared into your eyes and wonder if that was really fair
Little eyes bewildered to what she had seen
No more smiles that glisten or gleamed
Apology was just not enough
Made me snuff out that nasty cigarette butt
Nerves of steel I must contain
For her love I shall and will refrain
Over thirty years and not even knowing
I was polluting our air with this smoke I was blowing
Going to do and try all I can
To put out these cigarettes I once called friend
Maybe a patch or poke to stop those raging craves
Or just take a nice stroll on a summer's day
To see her bright smile once again
Is what I'll be savoring for around the bend
But for now my lighter will stay in my back pocket
So when I'm finished it will be to ignite a big silver rocket
Tribute To My Jenny Rose
Please Forgive Me My Little Peanut
Mama's Trying
Trying To Quit Smoking
After 30 Yrs I think It's Time To
Snuff Out That Butt Head LOL
