Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I remember Oklahoma, that Chesterfield sofa
Backseat of your Nova like it was yesterday
Butterflies on a blue dress, cigarettes on a swing set
Startin' fires in my head with the same old flame
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I light one up, I burn one down
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I breathe you in, I breathe you out
Good God, it's bittersweet, it's like cinnamon and nicotine
And I don't care if it's killin' me, can't stop chainsmokin' memories
[Verse 2]
A pocketful of matches, smell of you on my jacket
Missin' you's a bad habit, I just can't kick, I can't quit
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I light one up, I burn one down
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I breathe you in, I breathe you out
Good God, it's bittersweet, it's like cinnamon and nicotine
And I don't care if it's killin' me, can't stop chainsmokin' memories
[Bridge]
I said, Good God, it's bittersweet, it's like muscadine wine and kerosene
And I don't care if it's killin' me, can't stop chainsmokin', chainsmokin'
Chainsmokin'
[Bridge]
Mmm
Mmm, mmm
Mmm
Mmm, mmm
[Outro]
Good God, it's bittersweet, it's like cinnamon and nicotine
And I don't care if it's killin' me, can't stop chainsmokin' memories
