Music & Lyrics: John Popper
Driving around on a Monday morning
Got school in four hours, but I blew my last warning
Not much point in going today
They don`t need me anyway
Decided I`m tired of looking for the catch
I`m down to my last cigarette
Gonna smoke it down, and try to forget
I know I could make it through the night
If I could only get a light
But as it happens, I don`t have a match
I`m in love, I`m in hock
I`m flunking school, don`t know why I`m shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, I can`t get a light
Well, I`m always in my bit of debt
I bet I owe someone my last cigarette
In fact, everything I have, I owe
My mind, my soul, my clothes, my dough
I guess someday, I`ll pay off my dues
Well, I`m still driving, and heading south
With an unlit cigarette hanging out my mouth
It won`t be long before the dawn
Still with all my matches gone
And I`m just awake enough to get the blues
I`m in love, I`m in hock
I`m flunking school, don`t know why I`m shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, I can`t get a light
Nothing`s coming right
Well, I`m just too tired to think about my baby
Is she a yes, or just another maybe
I wish that I could tell her so
But I`m just too scared to let her know
Just how it is I want things to be
Well, if I could have just one last smoke
Life might seem like just another joke
Tomorrow wouldn`t be so bad
I wish it was a match I had
A smoke is quite essential to someone like me
I`m in love, I`m in hock
I`m flunking school, don`t know why I`m shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, I can`t get a light
Well, so a brand new day`s begun
But I just cannot seem to get this game won
I guess I`m sorta lucky, though
Cause everybody tells me so
Blew my last chance a long time ago, there`s nothing left but strife
Well, maybe someday I`ll get out from under
And everybody gonna feel my thunder
But I don`t think it`ll go down that way
If I`m having trouble lasting one more day
Cigarettes and no matches
That`s the story of my life
Where`s that rusty knife
I`m in love, I`m in hock
I`m flunking school, don`t know why I`m shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, I can`t get a light
