Gary Lawyer - Cigarette In My Hand

I remember the time, I had my first hook
Try it just once, friends gently provoked
Friends told me yes, light a ciggy for a start
you would like the fire in a pretty girls laugh

With a cigarette in my hand I felt like a man
cigarette in my hand I felt like a man

My hero look so right
with a cigarette on his lips
Could I go wrong if I follow his tips
On the job I learnt a thing or two
cigarette had a place in every work day too
cigarette started every hour of my day
couldn't get out of the habit, no way

With a cigarette in my hand I felt like a man
cigarette in my hand I felt like a man.

In moments that were a little a lonesome,
cigarette and I were happy twosome
cigarette slowly became my crunch
energy and stamina are lost very much
until one day I couldn’t on my feet
smoke made me feel real dead meat
then I realized I have paid a price.

With a cigarette in my hand, I was a dead man.
