Science (non) Fiction

I think I might like the quiet nights

So I got a new CD based on some friends recommendations (The Wreckers ‘Stand Still, Look Pretty’ – Michelle Branch’s new group, kinda country/folky), and I really like several of the songs – especially this one, even if it is a bit melodramatic – and no, I don’t smoke, but the rest of the song is great – I think it’s going to become my new anthem

Cigarettes

Got my headlights shining
Down an old dirt road
Smoke my cigarettes
I should quit I know

The radio’s playing
Old country songs
Someone’s leaving, someone’s cheating
On and on

I think I might like
The quiet nights
Of this empty life

‘Cause someday maybe
Somebody will love me like I need
And someday I won’t have to prove
‘Cause somebody will see
all my worth but until then
I’ll do just fine on my own
With my cigarettes
And this old dirt road

See I left another
Good man tonight
I wonder if he’ll miss me
Lord knows I tried

But I think that maybe
The thing that I did wrong
Was put up with his crap
For far too long

I think I might like
The quiet nights
Of this empty life

I ain’t gonna sleep
I ain’t gonna dream
About the things that I used to need
I ain’t gonna cry
Or go on living lies
I’m just gonna drive
