Lucky Strike Cigarettes

by Brian Johannesen

G D C

Well I used to smoke Turkish Gold cigarettes,

I was only sixteen.

Sucked ‘em down like soda pop and Ritalin,

Driving 'round thinking we were kings of the punk scene.

G D C

I had a girl and her name was Evelyn,

G D Em

Short little hairdo.

Come over every weekend on Saturday,

G D Em C G

Never had a clue the kind of mess I was into.

G D C

Yeah, I used to like Lucky Strike cigarettes,

G D Em

Coming up on eighteen.

G D C

Sold my guitar, I was sick of it,

G D Em C G

Never won the heart of a beautiful prom queen.

G D C

And I was sitting on a bridge on the overpass,

G D Em

With a bottle of Jim Beam.

G D C

Talking how that feeling could never last,

G D Em C G

Moving on baby, is part of the in-between.

[Bridge]

I bought the patch.

Fought it off trying to make it last.

But it never did work,

C G C G

I just switched to a different brand.

G D C

So I’m sitting with a Parliament cigarette,

G D Em

Somewhere in my twenties.

G D C

Thinking bout a bottle of Templeton,

G D Em C G

Talking bout nothing on a Tennessee porch swing.

G D C

Got a pack of 27s in the glove box,

G D Em

Waiting on a hard rain.

G D C

Racing up that interstate blacktop,

G D Em C G

South Dakota thunder is a’ calling out my name.

G D Em C G

Oh, South Dakota thunder is calling out my name.
