I’ll [Am]never forget that first cigarette that you [E]gave me for a laugh
In a [Am]week or two I had tasted your lips and I [E]was up to a pack and a half
It took forty cigarettes to hold you
Two hundred to push you off
Three thousand saw me crawling back
At four thousand I started to cough
At fifty five hundred I realized
I’d have to stand up and act like a man
It wasn’t until fifty five fifty that I finally had a plan
It took me six thousand cigarettes to quit you
