Lies and Cigarettes - Ron Pope

It was a warm day, in the middle of a cold winter.

She was a good girl, gave her heart to a wandering sinner.

I couldn’t say if I loved her, or if we were not there yet.

We were young and living on lies and cigarettes.

Last thing I remember snow began to fall

She went out to get some air, said she didn’t want to talk

I lost my mind out on that highway never really came back home

She said she loved the boy I used to be, then the conversation stalled

It was a warm day, in the middle of the cold winter.

She was a good girl, gave her heart to a wandering sinner.

I couldn’t say if I loved her or if we were not there yet.

We were young and living on lies and cigarettes.

I wish I could paint her picture, but I do not know how

I heard she moved back to Omaha and works for her father now

So I dial most of her number and then I change my mind

Our friends say she’s doing better now, so I let her live her life

It was a warm day, in the middle of a cold winter.

She was a good girl, gave her heart to a wandering sinner.

I couldn’t say if I loved her or if we were not there yet.

We were young and living on lies and cigarettes.
