This is no ordinary housewife! I've been playing guitar since age 12(sorry, won't say how long ago that was!)and have been writing songs for about as long.It's only been for the last 5 years that I've actually been sharing them with people.

Story behind the song
Ironic homage to the old Marlboro cigarette adds, as well as to the actor who eventually died of lung cancer.
Lyrics
Marlboro Man The Marlboro man wears boots that are worn And jeans ripped at the knees A cowboy hat that’s old and torn He doesn’t dress to please He longs for days when ranchers ruled And the cattle roamed the land But it’s all corporations now He’s just the hired hand. Fire me up another cowboy killer Watch the ember burn so bright I grew up in Marlboro country Where men are men And right is right His hand’s a little shaky As he strikes another match To lights up one more cigarette And rip off the nicotine patch They say that smoking’s killing him But they don’t understand He’s not scared of dying Cause he’s the Marlboro man. Fire me up another cowboy killer Watch the ember burn so bright I’ll spend my days in Marlboro country Where Philip Morris rules the night His arms all skin and sinew His face is pale and gaunt He’s become the pale rider With miles left to haunt His breath as dry as tumbleweeds His lungs as hard as stone He rides off in a puff of smoke And he rides and smokes alone. Light me up another cowboy killer Watch the ember burn so bright I’ll end my days in Marlboro country And ride off in the suns’ fading light. Copyright K Reichert 09/26/2012
