[Verse 1]

I drink to remember, I smoke to forget

Some things to be proud of, some stuff to regret

Run down some dark alleys in my own head

Something is changing, changing, changing

I go back to Clifton to see my old friends

The best people I could ever have met

Skin up a fat one, hide from the Feds

Something is changing, changing, changing


[Chorus]

So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain

Light a cigarette and wish the world away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay

So I hold two fingers up to yesterday

Light a cigarette and smoke it all away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay


[Verse 2]

He's down in the kitchen, drinking White Lightning

He's with my momma, they're yelling and fighting

And it's not the first time praying for silence

But something is changing, changing, changing


[Chorus]

So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain

Light a cigarette and wish the world away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay

So I hold two fingers up to yesterday

Light a cigarette and smoke it all away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay


[Bridge]

There's a story for every corner of this place

Running so hard you got out but your knees got grazed

I'm an old dog but I learned some new tricks yeah


[Chorus]

So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain

Light a cigarette and wish the world away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay

So I hold two fingers up to yesterday

Light a cigarette and smoke it all away

I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay


[Outro]

Hey, hey it's fine

Hey, hey it's fine

Hey, hey it's fine

I left it behind
