Marlboro Man

Stop
Take a moment of your life
To find out where you are going
And crawl
Through the barren land
Of your plan to the beauty of not knowing
And come on down to the place where we met
And I sent you that shot of whiskey
Smoke was in your eyes
And your hair fluttered by
You were never with me
So pull the trigger nice and fast
Cause the best for me hasn't happened yet
You're the marlboro man
Predictable with your plan
You're so damn scared
You don't understand that
Life is for the living
Not the living dead
You make your bed
Refuse to lie in it
Life is for the willing
You're only willing to stick to the plan
Go buy a pack, marlboro man
Marlboro man
Please don't get down on your knees
And act like you're repenting
I know you know I know you better than this
And I am done mending
What was meant to be a broken joke
Get out of my house
Go have a smoke
I'm on my way to wonderful
My future is bright
Don't get blinded by the light
So pull the trigger nice and fast
Cause the best for me hasn't happened yet
You're the marlboro man
Predictable with your plan
You're so damn scared
You don't understand that
Life is for the living
Not the living dead
You make your bed
Refuse to lie in it
Life is for the willing
You're only willing to stick to the plan
Go buy a pack, marlboro man
Marlboro man
Marlboro man
I counted the hours it took for you to call
And I counted those same hours
Leading out into the fall
So pull the trigger nice and fast
Cause the best for me hasn't happened yet
You're the marlboro man
Predictable with your plan
You're so damn scared
You don't understand that
Life is for the living
Not the living dead
You make your bed
Refuse to lie in it
Life is for the willing
You're only willing to stick to the plan
Go buy a pack, marlboro man
Marlboro man
Marlboro man
