20 Cigarettes 20 Cigarettes Lyrics Twenty cigarettes and I lit me one On that redwood deck on Demonbreun She was with her friends, left 'em standin' there There was more than smoke in that summer air [Chorus 1] We burnt two while she told me 'bout her hometown She was drinkin' Titos, said I better slow down I was like, "Hell, no, I ain't drinkin' by myself, no" Said she loved my accent so I kept talkin' Reached for the pack on the table by my wallet We tore off to light the night we had left [Verse 2] With thirteen cigarettes and I lit me one With the windows cracked in my old half-ton Singin' take me home on them country roads So I turned off on one then next thing you know [Chorus 2] We had a beer bottle lookin' like an ashtray Under that full moon she was 'bout halfway Naked in my truck bed, so I helped her with the rest She was sayin' my name, barely even knew it We were both lyin', said we never do this To the music of the wind through the woods It was probably somewhere around two In the morning by the time we got down to [Verse 3] That lucky cigarette, layin' on our backs We were out of breath, we both took a drag Blew it in the sky, she was gone like that One hell of a night, one hell of a pack About 20 Cigarettes tells the story of a brief but intense summer romance that unfolds over the course of one night
