Marlboros

[Verse 1]
Chewing on a bubble gum cigarette
In my underwear and a cowboy hat
It was nice to think those stories told
They could be me when I grow old
Watching that silver screen
All I could think

[Chorus]
If it could be them, it could be me
I could save all those girls who yelled my name
Ride off in a sunset
Go to heaven in a cloud of smoke
I could cry, still be tough
I could be the gun that makes 'em fall in love
All in with a cold sweat
Like Holiday on Tombstone
But sometimes life don't go how you hoped
I wish I wound up with more than Marlboros

[Verse 2]
Playin' both sides is a dangerous game
'Cause one might win and make you change
Like an outlaw praying for his sins
A good guy fighting those flames within
I thought I could be somewhere in between

[Chorus]
'Cause if it could be them, it could be me
I could save all those girls who yelled my name
Ride off in a sunset
Go to heaven in a cloud of smoke
I could cry, still be tough
I could be the gun that makes 'em fall in love
Hang 'em high and keep a cool head
Eastwood as the hero
But sometimes life don't go how you hoped
I wish I wound up with more than Marlboros

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
If it could be them, it could be me
I could save all those girls who yelled my name
Ride off in a sunset
Go to heaven in a cloud of smoke
I could cry, still be tough
I could be the gun that makes 'em fall in love
Push it all in with a cold sweat
Like Doc Holiday on Tombstone
But sometimes life don't go how you hoped
Yeah, sometimes life don't go how you hoped
I wish I wound up with more than Marlboros

[Outro]
Chewing on a bubble gum cigarette
