Smoke up here's our life regrets, it's what I'm reading on the back of my pack of cigarettes
as I'm cheersin' to the moon with my bottle of wine
that I took home from the liquor store for $5.95
And she throws the bottle back and continues to laugh,
She says remember last December when we saved our cash
and we took it on the road and we decided to lose it,
so we blew it on love, drugs and good music
Times sure have changed but we still have our days
deep inside I knew she wouldn't have it any other way
Well I took too many right turns when I knew they were wrong
Passed out in chairs, stairs and front lawns
Had ample opportunity to get my shit together
and I'm wonderin' when she'll figure out that she can do much better
Askin' when the day will come when she is just gone
said sit up, shut up, play me a song
So I pick up my guitar and I strum her a chord
as I ramble off some lyrics just so she won't get bored
as I'm stumblin; while I'm hoping to find what it's about
and I crack my head wide open this is just what comes out

She's a Lottery and every day's a winning ticket
She's a melody, that you love from start to finish
She's a fantasy, and I don't know why I'm in it
But I know that I can't quit it, no way

She's clappin' to the rhythm as she's starting to bounce
and I notice right behind her that she'll build up a crowd
so she kicks it into to high gear as she gives us a dance
and I watch all the outsiders start to give us a chance
I yell hmmm bop from the top of my lungs
with a don't stop cause I'm having such fun
and I rise up cause the people will come
and then oh my god here go the drums
ground starts to shake with the feel of the beat
and the ( ) everywhere they crowd up the streets
and they're comin out together just to add to the sound
and they bring it out whenever they get up and get down
Jokin, smokin, knowin somethings might be unbroken
Spokin' all the things that I say, and I'm given 'em all away

CHORUS

She's a part of me, such a part of me
Taking everything from the start of me
I'm dancing with her, everything I'm chancing with her, I'm ok
She's in front of me, she's the one to me
Everybody's seen what she's done to me
I'm lost in her mind
Everyone knows I'm just fine
