The opening to Girls Who Smoke by Drive-By Truckers always gives me a laugh.

I can tell by her lips she's got f****d up teeth
She's got a banged up grill like she just hit a deer
In a while she'll go down in a tent with a bloke
You know what they say about girls who smoke

In the days of my youth, I was told what it was to be a man.
Now I've reached the age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can.
No matter how I try, I find my way to do the same old jam.

(1st song on 1st ever album, have always wondered what it was like to be young at the time and hear it with that unique and powerful 'sound')

If I make it through this year, I think I'm gonna put this bottle down
Maybe as time goes on I'll learn to miss it less than I do now
Think I'm gonna tell her that I'm gonna go away for a while
Till I can get this demon out

Well my fall from grace was a sight to see
Good turned to bad and bad turned to misery
I found out what it is and what it's not
And all I asked for sure ain't what I got

I read the news today, oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well, I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?

Oh I used to be disgusted
Now I try to be amused...

"I can tell by the Trail of Tears there on your skin,
that your only souvenir is a pain that won't end".


"Had my baby halfway out of the window when I first heard the sound
Of her daddy's Smith and Wesson as he smiled and cocked the hammer down
Sayin, Son, the state of Tennessee is better off without you around"

Brothers I am calling from the valley of the kings
With nothing to atone
A dark march lies ahead, together we will ride
Like thunder from the sky
May your sword stay wet like a young girl in her prime
Hold your hammers high

As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent you asked for the latest party

I was lookin' all handsome in black, she was looking like an erotic vulture

She had a horror of rooms she was tired you can't hide beat when I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home

I got a letter this morning
What do you reckon it read?
It said, "The gal you love is dead."

Just remembered this one from Delbert :

She left a lipstick letter on the mirror, shattered on the bathroom floor.

All I could put back together was 'you'll never see me no more'.
