She lit her last cigarette
Oh yeah!

Hey how you've been? It's been a minute
I've been praying for you, alot of shit that's on my chest
I want to say it to you
Beautiful woman with incredible taste
Baby daddy's gone, I've heard he called federal case
It was fast life livin', winded up in prison
Next thing you know, she's tryin' to raise three children
And next day, she's on back page
Didn't know that shame came as fast as cash came
It's all part of the game, movin' in the fast lane
Now she thinkin' Lord can't blame it on the back pain
Man, now she's sittin' in an old motel
Another story that we know oh so well

She lit her last cigarette
While she's tryin' to figure out how to live with regret
Oh yeah!
But she don't get a check
So she feels there's nothing's left
so she's sittin' stressed
Light up a cigarette!

Hey honey how you doin'? Are you still doin' bad?
Are you still with that dude that likes to beat your ass?
Last time I've seen you, I saw the hidden bruises
I've tried to talk about it but you came up with excuses
You feel trapped, don't you? It's like you can't escape
It's like you tryin' to find a way through you can get away
I understand, hold on, mama and be strong
God's the only person that you can really lean on
Like you're stuck in a rut but you can't get out
But the world's on your shoulders and you can't flip out
I'm sorry it took so long for us to have a conversation
But I'm glad I've caught you contemplating

She lit her last cigarette
While she's tryin' to figure out how to live with regret
Oh yeah!
But she don't get a check
So she feels there's nothing's left
so she's sittin' stressed
Light up a cigarette!

And she don't want to spend another night alone
She don't got nobody she can call her own
When it's cold, no one knows
All the places that girl go

She lit her last cigarette
While she's tryin' to figure out how
to live with regret (nobody knows!)
Oh yeah!
But she don't get a check
So she feels there's nothing's left
and she's just sittin' stressed
Light up a cigarette! (nobody know's!)
