I wish I still smoked cigarettes Light one up and travel time A stiff drink and a whisper just Is enough to light a fire, feel alive Wish I could go back to those nights sometimes I wish I still drove a muscle car Horses rumbling under the hood Flyin' past the welcome sign under the stars Wishin' I could leave for good I swore I would. Every now and then I go back to that neighborhood I wish I still did a lot of things I don't do anymore When I didn't know what wasn't good for me But I knew everything else for sure I guess what I really miss is the freedom then The way it felt, the innocence That's what I really meant When I said I wish I still smoked cigarettes I felt more grown up then We were talking about where we were gonna go Instead of where we'd been We'd ride around the lake and make those plans Still had the world in the palm of our hands We never had a chance, now and then I wish I still did a lot of things I don't do anymore When I didn't know what wasn't good for me But I knew everything else for sure I guess what I really miss is the freedom then The way it felt, the innocence That's what I really meant When I said I wish I still smoked cigarettes I wish I still smoked cigarettes Something to calm my nerves Wherever you are tonight, you were better than I deserve I wish I still smoked cigarettes So I had something to let go Up in smoke The End
