The cigarette she smoked left a funny taste
Is it all or is there more I've missed?
Could not remember all the words she said
Suddenly it's hard to cry

Got my hands on the wheel, two and ten
Thought about the things she said back then
Car broke down on the highway, so did I

Like a wounded soldier returning to the war
Lying in her bed
Confusion has me [bad word] through my head

Got my hands on the wheel, two and ten
Thought about the things she said back then
Car broke down on the highway and so did I

The cigarette burned out
The night is over
It hit me in the back like a thousand lashes
When all I'm left with
Is heartaches and cold ashes
