Bobby Pinson - Don't Think I Don't Think About It lyrics

I left my last pack Of cigarettes in the back Of that long black Cadillac The day that habit took Daddy down Spent the next year or so Emptying bottles on a lonely road Until the night that train came just close enough To straighten me out But don't think I don't get a whiff of smoke And need a drag so bad I could choke I still taste the Crown in my Coke I know I'm better off without it But don't think I don't think about it I took a wood match To a faded photograph And I watched us split in half As if that hadn't already happened I don't drive by her house Hoping she'll walk out I steer clear of that part of town Hell it ain't worth the traffic Don't think I don't see two people in love And wish I could swing by and pick her up I know that road no longer leads to us There's no need to go back down it But don't think I don't think about it I've got a ghost who likes to drink and smoke And bring her home at night He still rattles his chains but I ain't afraid Since I got my head on right Gonna go the long way around I won't take the easy way out But don't think I don't think about it
