Second Hand Smoke
Words and Music by JW Hanberry
Vs 1 At a candle lit table in the corner
Cigarette, a beer and a shot
You were talkin' to a man, he was holdin' your hand
Looked like the flame was hot
He flashed a smile, you giggled
Guess that tired line still sounded alright
The next thing you know, he got up to go
Wandered off into the night.
Ch 1 Then like second hand smoke you came driftin' across the room
A whisper of silk, the scent of your dark perfume
The fire in your eyes, your sweet sounding lies
Took away my breath
Like a storm in the distance, but just for an instant
When I looked around nothin' was left
But second hand smoke
Vs 2 You sat down at my table
Asked would I give you a light
You threw back a shot, saw your lips gleamin' hot
I'm thinkin' I could get lucky tonight
But the embers were turning to ashes
And the glow of that dim barroom scene
Showed how tired you'd become, of the boys and their fun
Woke me up out of my dream
Ch 2 Like second hand smoke you blew right out of the room
All that remained was the smell of your cheap perfume
Bundled your sorrow in an old coat you'd borrowed
Slipped out the door
Seeking completeness in a moment of sweetness
But you found nothing more
Than second hand smoke
[Solo 1/2 vs ]
Ch 3 Like second hand smoke you're a drifter gone too soon
Inspired to flight by the sound of the night's fading tune.
Like second hand smoke
Out Evil drifter, Lucifer's sister
Burnin' soul, open blisters
Wicked miss you can't resist her
Swallowing fumes of Hell when you kissed her
