Lorrie Morgan - One Less Monkey lyrics

When I lit my first cigarette it didn't hurt me none But I realized the danger on my 97th one I took a pill, I did the patch, got myself hypnotized Blew away the ashes, drew a great big breath of life Now there's [Chorus:] One less monkey Hangin' on my back I shook it off, cut it loose and that's 5, 4, 3, 2 One less monkey that I have to feed I feel so much lighter, now there's One less monkey on me I was just a number on the clock from 9 to 5 Rushing through the madness, I was payin' with my life I had a dream, I had a plan a long, long time ago Resigned myself to freedom and I took it on the road Now there's [Chorus] There's a jungle full of monkeys that would love to weigh you down But I'm lookin' for a better way of monkeyin' around [Chorus] I feel so much lighter, I feel so much higher I feel so much finer now There's one less monkey on me
