Chainsmoking Whiskey

[Verse 1]
I thought it'd be the cowboy killers
That’d put a hole in my chest
I did what you said, gave up the reds
But damn you still left
It turns out you can hit rock bottom
In a bottomless glass
They say smoke 'em if you got 'em
So I got ’em lined up back to back

[Chorus]
Chain smoking whiskey shot after shot
Here's to your memory that's all that I got
And I wish like hell I still smoked cigarettes
Now chain smoking whiskey's as close as I close as I get

[Verse 2]
Traded nicotine for a stiff drink
One vice for another
It didn't do a damn thing it just changed
The influence I'm under and
No wonder

[Chorus]
I'm Chain smoking whiskey shot after shot
Here's to your memory that’s all that I got
And I wish like hell I still smoked cigarettes
Now chain smoking whiskey’s as close as I close as I get

[Bridge]
To lightin' back up
’Cause quittin's too hard
So I just stay drunk
Alone in this bar

[Chorus]
And chain smokin' whiskey shot after shot
Here's to your memory that’s all that I got
I wish like hell I still smoked cigarettes
Now chain smoking whiskey's as close as I close as I get

[Outro]
As close as I get
Well it's as close as I get
