Many people try to quit smoking and find that it is not that easy! Every now and then, they have an urge to light up! I deceided that I had to write a song about it with a little sense of humor.
Story behind the song
One day while sitting with a few of my friends and having a drink, I lit up a cigarette and started coughing! I made a remark that went like.."Well, here I sit and I'm coughin'.... I guess this is it.!!" Almost immediately, I reached for a magazine ( the only piece of paper around at the time) and wrote those words down! It only took a short while and I had almost finished the whole song.. right then and there!
Lyrics
Well, here I sit and I'm coughin'
I guess this is it
I'm all through with smokin'
I'm really gonna quit
You read those ads in the magazines
About those cigarettes
That "this one is the best one"
Cause the filter is recessed
"It's what's up front" they say
And 100's they give ya more
But, the menthol and the mint
That's what I was lookin for....
I'll butt no more...
No more smokin'
I ain't a gonna smoke no more
Sometimes, I'd git to playin'
My dusty ole guitar
With a cigarette in one hand
Or.. maybe a cigar
Now, I don't know if you know
But ya see it's kinda rough
Tryin' to pick your guitar
While your tryin' to sneek a puff
Your bendin' and twistin'
Pullin' on those strings
I've gotta give em' up
I gotta quit those things
Butt no more
No more smokin'
I ain't a'gonna smoke no more
I gotta give 'em up
Cause the doctors.. they all say
That it shorten's up your breathin'
Now, I can't sing that way
Their reason's.. there all good
And it makes sense I guess
But, when a cigarette is offered
I wind up sayin' yes!
Butt no more
No more smokin'
I ain't agonna smoke no more
(tag) Butt, no more
No more smokin'
I ain't a'gonna smoke no more....
I quit!!
