I stopped by right around 5 almost every day
I work close by and this little dive keeps calling out my name
I can't say I'm a regular, I ain't quite there yet
I'm just here for the booze and cigarettes

If you wanna sit down beside me
I guess that'd be just fine
But don't tell me your story boy and I won't tell you mine
Oh I ain't got one problem
I ain't got no regrets
Yeah, I'm just here for the booze and cigarettes

The booze goes down easy
And the smoke calms my nerves
It's like nobody sees me
Sitting here all alone
Getting just what I deserve

I must admit I've noticed
She works the Thursday shift
She's so much more than a steady pour
She's got a special gift
She wears no ring she's a cute little thing
But hell I ain't ready yet
Nah, I'm just here for the booze and cigarettes

The booze goes down easy
And the smoke calms my nerves
It's like nobody sees me
Sitting here all alone
Getting just what I deserve

I stopped by right around 5 almost every day
I work close by and this little dive keeps calling out my name
I can't say I'm a regular, I ain't quite there yet

Yeah, I'm just here for the booze and cigarettes
