Smoke Break Lyrics By Carrie Underwood

    she’s a smalltown hardworkin’ woman
    just tryna make a livin’
    workin’ three jobs feeding four little mouths
    in a rundown 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 bigcity hardworkin’ 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

    middle 8
    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
