Rhett mentioned on one of his StageIt shows that this song was written on Easter Sunday 2010, and, according to Rhett, is one of guitarist Ken Bethea’s favorite songs to play.
We had a smoke on the water
We laughed for all it was worth
And I called out your name but
You didn't say what you heard
We drove home in silence
The reception was not to be
I had a feelin'
You would be leavin' me
And it's so easy
To be a man in pain
Turn off your heart
And let the whiskey take the reins
I had a terrible vision
Of a world outside of this bar
But she keeps talkin' about walkin'
Away from where we are
And it's so easy
To be a man in pain
Turn off your heart
And let the whiskey take the reins
Yeah, it's so easy
To be a man in pain
Turn off your heart
And let the whiskey take the reins
We had a smoke on the water
We laughed for all it was worth
