Story behind the song
Wrote this after one of my attempts to kick
the nasty habit that seems to have attached itself to me
like a blood-sucker!
Actually bought the gum and cigs are good with coffee :{
Lyrics
"Gonna Quit Smokin Blues'"
Last night I said, I'm gonna quit smokin', in the mornin when I get up
So threw my last pack into the trash Believin I'd finally had enough
Went to the store, for a box of Cinnamon flavored Nickirette gum
Thinkin to myself, I hope this works, but I bet it won't be FUN!
Back home, read the directions, and I Tried real hard to psyche myself into
Puttin that little white square in my mouth and musterin' up courage to chew
Went to bed, and in the mornin' poured myself a cup of coffee, and OOPS! Whoa-oops!
What was I thinkin' That was definitely the worst thing I could do
'Cause caffein and tobacci go together like cake' n ice cream,
peanut butter' n jelly, mutt 'n Jeff' , dinner and a movie
While fishin' my pack back outta that trash
The only thing I was kickin' was my ash
For givin' in, smokin' one then lightin' number two...
three... four... five... six... man I love them cancer sticks
Seven... eight... nine...and ten, hey look I'm lightin' one up again
I've got them old gonna quit smokin' blues
Got smoke in my clothes, furniture' n hair
It's even seepin' deep into my underwear...
Got ashtray breath, yellow teeth
and all of my pockets are empty!
I'm admittedly addicted, and I should quit
But my lungs keep pitchin' a nicotine fit
and I'm too busy bein' an idiot!! Yeah! An idiot!
Yeah! I'm a too busy bein' an idiot!!!!
I've got them old gonna quit smokin' blues!!!!
Break-
Got smoke in my clothes, furniture' n hair
It's even seepin' deep into my underwear...
Got ashtray breath, yellow teeth
and all of my pockets are empty!
I'm admittedly addicted, and I should quit
But my lungs keep pitchin' a nicotine fit
and I'm too busy bein' an idiot!! Yeah! An idiot!
Yeah! I'm a too busy bein' an idiot!!!!
I've got them old gonna quit smokin' blues!!!!
I'm tellin' you...
Them terribly disgusting good for nothin' smokin' blues...
I've really got 'um
I've got them old Gonna Quit Smokin'.... one of these days Blues
