Smoke Break Lyrics - Storyteller - Carrie Underwood

She's a small-town, hard-working woman just trying to make a living 

Working three jobs, feeding four little mouths in a run-down kitchen 

When you never taking nothing and doing nothing but giving 

It's hard to be a good wife and a good mom and a good Christian 

She said, "I don't drink" 

"But sometimes I need a stiff drink" 

"Sipping from a highball glass" 

"Let the world fade away" 

She said, "I don't smoke" 

"But sometimes I need a long drag" 

"Yeah, I know it might sound bad" 

"But sometimes I need a smoke break" 

He's a big-city, hard-working man just trying to climb the ladder 

First generation to go to college instead of driving a tractor 

Never had nothing handed to him on a silver platter 

It's hard to be a good man, good son, do something good that matters

He said, "I don't drink" 

"But sometimes I wanna pop that top" 

"Take a swig and make the world stop" 

"And watch it fade away" 

He said, "I don't smoke" 

"But sometimes I wanna light it up" 

"Yeah, when things get tough" 

"Sometimes I need a smoke break, yeah" 

So here's to you and here's to when the day gets long 

Go ahead, I understand if you wanna take a load off 

I don't drink 

But sometimes I need a stiff drink 

Sipping from a highball glass 

Let the world fade away 

Yeah, and I don't smoke 

But sometimes I need a long drag 

Yeah, I know it might sound bad 

But sometimes I need a, sometimes I need a...

When the day gets long 

When the work's all done 

When the sun sets, when you need to forget 

Grab that cup, mmm 

Fill it up 

Sip it slow and let it all go
