[Verse 1]
There's a girl at the bar sipping whiskey with a sidecar
Soaking in the glow of the Heineken sign star
Starts messing with her purse now she's pulling out a pack
And I can't see the brand 'cause the box is in her right hand
Lights hit the breeze and as soon as I breathe in
Baby, I know what it is and it's bringing me back
[Chorus]
That second-hand smoke from the red and black clothes
Same ones we used to burn
When we get a little loaded up on a Friday
Buzzing the night away
Damn you were one in a million
Now I'm sitting right here in a missing you haze
Hurts a little more with every drag she's taking
Baby, I'm dying just to be with you
Yeah, cigarettes'll kill ya
[Verse 2]
Only came here for one but I ain't going anywhere, nah
'Cause I can taste her cherry kisses floating through the air now
It's bittersweet but I'ma be here as long as it lasts
[Chorus]
That second-hand smoke from the red and black clothes
Same ones we used to burn
When we get a little loaded up on a Friday
Buzzing the night away
Damn you were one in a million
Now I'm sitting right here in a missing you haze
Hurts a little more with every drag she's taking
Baby, I'm dying just to be with you
Yeah cigarettes'll kill ya
[Bridge]
She don't even know what she's doing
'Cause she don't know about me and you, yeah
She don't know she's killing me but she's killing me
[Chorus]
With that second-hand smoke from the red and black clothes
Same ones we used to burn
When we get a little loaded up on a Friday
Buzzing the night away
Damn you were one in a million
Now I'm sitting right here in a missing you haze
Hurts a little more with every drag she's taking
Baby, I'm dying just to be with you
Yeah, cigarettes'll kill ya
Yeah, cigarettes'll kill ya

I first heard this song when everything was shut down last year and I had a lot of time to reflect. I started thinking about past relationships, the good, the bad, and what went wrong, and when this song came to me it was everything I felt.
I’ve definitely been focusing on my guitar playing this la...
