Lyrics

Yeah, smokin' time right now
Smoke 'em if you got 'em motherfuckers
One, two, three, four
Well just beyond Virginia's southern border
Is a land that I am happy to call mine
But I was raised in a house of brick and mortar
In the red clay hills of central Caroline
Now the corn crop there is hardly worth a mention
And the cattle farms are fine but not the best
It's this little leaf we borrowed from the Indians
That keeps our state a notch above the rest
Now, Georgia peach is fair
Kentucky beyond compare
Alabama's grand
But the State not the band
Well, the South, she has her diamonds
And every one is great
But North Carolina is the Cigarette State
Now the folks in our hometown sure had the habit
They smoked the best homegrown the whole year round
They knew what a good time was and how to have it
'Cause that was a cigarette town
Our neighbor Frank was a highbred man with letters
But he made honest livin' off the land
He put away three packs a day or better
'Cause he was a cigarette man
Now, Georgia peach is fair
Kentucky beyond compare
Alabama's grand
But the State not the band
Well, the South, she has her diamonds
And every one is great
But North Carolina is the Cigarette State
I took home with me a pretty thing from Asheville
She loved the morning light that tore her soul
She took it between her fingers nice and natural
And sucked it through the filter like a pro
So I gave her a ring and from her pa I swiped her
And she gave me a boy I'm happy to call mine
Changed more schools than I get out of diapers
In a red brick house in central Caroline
Now, Georgia peach is fair
Kentucky beyond compare
Alabama's grand
But the State not the band
Well, the South, she has her diamonds
And every one is great
But North Carolina is the Cigarette State
And North Carolina is the Cigarette State
