I've played every honky tonk and roadside bar and juke joint
Between here and Minneapolis, you know I've lived these miles
There's a haggard man behind these eyes and smile
I picked up the guitar 'round the time I turned fourteen
Lit that fire, been burnin' tires, hard booze both hands in gasoline, stayin' wired
Come back down the best that we know how, we know now
We're all tryin' to quit smoking, tired of laughin', tired of joking
'Bout the habits we all have, slowly creepin' up
We all gotta die from somethin', livin' kills you, life is tough
But I can't quit, 'cause I can't quit enough
I've felt all the pressures playing to an empty room
The pleasures of the crowd that's singin' loud to every word to all my songs
But the band and me, Lord, keep rollin' on, we roll on
We're still tryin' to quit smoking, tired of laughin', tired of joking
'Bout the habits we all have, slowly creepin' up
We all gotta die from somethin', livin' kills you, life is tough
But I can't quit, 'cause I can't quit enough
We're all tryin' to quit smoking, tired of laughin', tired of joking
'Bout the habits we all have, slowly creepin' up
We all gotta die from somethin', livin' kills you, life is tough
But I can't quit, 'cause I can't quit enough
No I'll never quit 'cause I can't quit enough
