It's another hard late night in the summertime
I lean back for a swig and another drag
There's a cool breeze blowing through my hair
But I never felt so bad
Feels like I got a chain wrapped tight around my chest
And something heavy in my shoes
And this sure feels like the only way
To get my mind away from you

It's gonna take a lot more then Cigarettes and Whiskey
Til the thought of loving you is gone
They say time is all it takes to make it better babe but you
You'd prove them wrong

It just gets harder every day my friends
She just seems to follow me around
She's the girl in every song on the radio
She's the sugar in my coffee swirling round
Spinning oh so sweet oh she was such a dancer
And I'd like to think I knew a step or two
At least enough to get a smile for an answer
When I asked her if she'd go for one more tune

It's gonna take a lot more then Cigarettes and Whiskey
Til the thought of loving you is gone
They say time is all it takes to make it better babe but you
You'd prove them wrong

Holding strong, there's not a chance I'll give in
I'd fight for you til the very end
It may be sweet it may be bitter, but I could barely keep on living
If I lost you as a lover and a friend

It's gonna take a lot more then Cigarettes and Whiskey
Til the thought of loving you is gone
They say time is all it takes to make it better babe but you
You'd prove them wrong
