[Verse 1] I drink to remember, I smoke to forget Some things to be proud of, some stuff to regret Run down some dark alleys in my own head Something is changing, changing, changing I go back to Clifton to see my old friends The best people I could ever have met Skin up a fat one, hide from the Feds Something is changing, changing, changing [Chorus] So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain Light a cigarette and wish the world away I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay So I hold two fingers up to yesterday Light a cigarette and smoke it all away I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay [Verse 2] Down in the kitchen, drinking white lightning He's with my momma, yelling and fighting It's not the first time praying for silence Something is changing, changing, changing [Chorus] So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain Light a cigarette and wish the world away I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay So I hold two fingers up to yesterday Light a cigarette and smoke it all away I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay [Verse 3] There's a story for every corner of this place Running so hard you got out but your knees got grazed I'm an old dog but I learned some new tricks yeah [Chorus] So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain Light a cigarette and wish the world away I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay So I hold two fingers up to yesterday Light a cigarette and smoke it all away I got out, I got out, I'm alive and I'm here to stay [Outro] Hey, hey it's fine Hey, hey it's fine Hey, hey it's fine I left it behind
