Another Puff Lyrics - The Essential Jerry Reed - Jerry Reed

I know there's a lotta talk going around today 

About cigarette smoking whittling your life away 

I've seen it and I've heard it so many times 

That finally it just started to prey on my mind 

I guess it scared me a little bit 

That's why I decided I was gonna quit 

So while I was sitting here forming my battle plan 

I took another puff and turned on the fan 

I just sat there in my easy chair 

And thought of all the money I'd wasted on cigarettes all these years 

I thought how I'd spend the rest of my days 

After I kick this habit my body craves 

Said to myself this ain't gonna be so tough 

With that little bit of assurance 

I took another puff 

I took a puff, a puff, then I ripped off another puff 

I decided I'd about had about enough 

That breaking this habit won't be too tough 

Now I've give a lot of thought to this thing 

If I didn't smoke cigarettes I'd feel just like a king 

Besides with the price going up every day 

I knew I was just throwing all my good money away 

You know I ain't lit one in an hour or so? 

Just wanted to make sure I could quit you know 

I was thinking maybe I oughta write all this down 

Put it in a song kinda circulate it around 

Can't ever tell it might make a hit 

And that redneck Hall did a little bit 

Can you imagine me a hit songwriter! 

Now where's, where'd I put that cigarette lighter? 

After all it's a habit and a habit you can break 

Just a little bit of willpower son that's all it takes 

I said to myself you got to be tough! 

And with that little bit of wisdom 

I took another puff 

I took a puff, and then a puff, then I finally ripped off another puff 

And I decided boy this ain't gonna be tough 

Besides I'd just about had enough 

I'm about ready to quit this rotten habit anyway
