Cant Get a Light — текст песни (blues traveler)

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 dont need me anyway

Decided Im tired of looking for the catch

Im 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 dont have a match



Im in love, Im in hock

Im flunking school, dont know why Im shocked

I said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a light



Well, Im 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, Ill pay off my dues

Well, Im still driving, and heading south

With an unlit cigarette hanging out my mouth

It wont be long before the dawn

Still with all my matches gone

And Im just awake enough to get the blues



Im in love, Im in hock

Im flunking school, dont know why Im shocked

I said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a light

Nothings coming right



Well, Im 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 Im 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 wouldnt be so bad

I wish it was a match I had

A smoke is quite essential to someone like me



Im in love, Im in hock

Im flunking school, dont know why Im shocked

I said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a light



Well, so a brand new days begun

But I just cannot seem to get this game won

I guess Im sorta lucky, though

Cause everybody tells me so

Blew my last chance a long time ago, theres nothing left but strife

Well, maybe someday Ill get out from under

And everybody gonna feel my thunder

But I dont think itll go down that way

If Im having trouble lasting one more day

Cigarettes and no matches

Thats the story of my life

Wheres that rusty knife



Im in love, Im in hock

Im flunking school, dont know why Im shocked

I said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a light
