[Verse 1]
I woke up in a sink full of red and gold
Ash on my jeans, and my hands gone cold
Mirrors talk back, but they never tell truth
I kept on buying time from the edge of the booth
[Verse 2]
By midnight, my name felt heavy in my mouth
Phone face down, same bad road south
I chased that numb like it owed me a rain
Then I lost my face in the windowpane
[Chorus]
every single night I need me a smoke
life ain’t no joke
got me some whiskey without no coke
every single night I need me a smoke
life ain’t no joke
got me some whiskey without no coke
[Verse 3]
Next day hit hard like a fist to the chest
Sun on the floor where I left my best
I heard my own voice say, “boy, come clean”
So I stood in the light like a bad dream
[Pre-Chorus]
I washed my hands in a cracked black sink
Watched that poison drift right down
My knees shook loose, my head got clear
And I heard my heart come round
[Chorus]
every single night I need me a smoke
life ain’t no joke
got me some whiskey without no coke
every single night I need me a smoke
life ain’t no joke
got me some whiskey without no coke
[Bridge]
I was a ghost in a borrowed coat
Living too fast on a sinking boat
Then the room turned sharp, the hours spoke
And I broke that spell, one breath at a time
[Final Chorus]
every single night I need me a smoke
life ain’t no joke
got me some whiskey without no coke
every single night I need me a smoke
life ain’t no joke
got me some whiskey without no coke
[Outro]
I’m still here
Still bruised, still whole
Back in my skin
Back in my soul
