She Smoked Cigarettes
Love and Smoke: A Tale of Passion and Rebellion
Lyrics
I'd see her at the bus stop every single day
I observed her consistently at the bus stop each day.
11:42 her bus was due and she'd just ride away
Her bus was scheduled for 11:42, and she would depart when it arrived.
But she'd always get there early and shuffle through her purse
She habitually arrived early and searched through her purse.
Looking for a zippo lighter then she'd flick it 'til it worked
She searched for a Zippo lighter and flicked it until it ignited.
Cause she smoked cigarettes a couple packs a day I guess
She smoked several packs of cigarettes daily.
I could taste it on her lips when I leaned in for a kiss
The taste of cigarettes lingered on her lips during a kiss.
She had a mouth on her she'd say any word
She was outspoken and would use any word.
But I loved her that's why I'm lighting one up right now
Despite her flaws, the speaker loved her and is currently lighting a cigarette in remembrance.
I never took her home to momma she wouldn't like her I know
The speaker never introduced her to his mother because he anticipated disapproval.
She'd say boy that girl is trouble you gotta let her go
The hypothetical reaction of the mother, advising the speaker to end the relationship due to perceived trouble.
Cause she smoked cigarettes
Reiteration of her smoking habit.
Well I finally got the courage to meet her at the bus stop
The speaker summoned the courage to meet her at the bus stop.
She was looking for her old lighter so I handed her the one I got
He offered her a lighter, initiating their interaction.
I said it's nice to meet you and she just rolled her eyes
Upon introduction, she expressed skepticism with a roll of her eyes.
But she handed me a smoke lord it made me choke but it lit a fire inside
She shared a cigarette with the speaker, creating a spark within him.
And we smoked cigarettes a couple packs a day I guess
Now, both of them smoke multiple packs of cigarettes daily.
We could taste it on our lips when we leaned in for a kiss
The taste of cigarettes is evident in their kisses.
She had a mouth on her but she taught me these three words
She, despite her mouthiness, taught the speaker three important words.
I love her, that's why I'm lighting one up right now
The speaker loves her, and he is currently lighting a cigarette in her memory.
I never took her home to momma she wouldn't like her I know
Reiteration of not introducing her to the speaker's mother due to anticipated disapproval.
She'd say boy that girl is trouble you gotta let her go
The imagined advice of the mother, suggesting the speaker end the troublesome relationship.
Now I smoke cigarettes a couple packs a day I guess
The speaker continues the smoking habit after the relationship ends.
You could taste it on my lips if you leaned in for a kiss
The lingering taste of cigarettes in the speaker's kisses post-relationship.
I got a mouth on me I'm cussing everything
The speaker admits to having a mouth, using profanity due to the aftermath of the relationship.
Because I loved her that's why I'm lighting one up right now
Despite the challenges, the speaker is currently lighting a cigarette in remembrance.
I never took her home to momma she wouldn't like her I know
The speaker never introduced her to his mother due to expected disapproval.
She'd say boy that girl is trouble so I just let her go
Anticipated disapproval from the mother led the speaker to let go of the troublesome relationship.
Cause she smoked cigarettes
Reiteration of her smoking habit and its role in the relationship's end.
