{Verse 1} She said "No" For to him it seemed to be the hundredth time Does she know That each word she says is killing him inside So he'll go And take the long way home with hopes to clear his mind {Chorus} As the smoke rose high His chest sunk low The burning in his lungs fought off the cold His grip was getting tight His speech was slurring slow The bottle in his hands felt like home That's the night a boy learned to regret Whiskey and cigarettes {Verse 2} Morning sun Breaking through the shades to blind his tired eyes
What's he done He swore never would he fall to his demise Down to one His last hope is adding fuel to the raging fire {Chorus} As the smoke rose high His chest sunk low The burning in his lungs fought off the cold His grip was getting tight His speech was slurring slow The bottle in his hands felt like home That's the night a boy learned to regret That's the night a boy learned to regret That's the night a boy learned to regret Whiskey and cigarettes
