As I put my clothes on to go home I know I’m leaving,
to a future bright and new where the outlook really is too beautiful to be believed.
And when I’m on the road home I think, alone again? I don’t have to be.
I could go back the way I came, there’d be somewhere, someone, who would be pleased to see me.
You call it the day I gave up smoking in the house, I call it the day love died.
I ha' been living out my days for quite some time, thought it would continue,
but, the decline in relations, communications, did accrue.
You were a lot more fun when you smoked, I shouldn’t say it, but it’s true.
Now you can’t see through your depression and my confession is we’re through.
You call it the day I gave up smoking in the house, I call it the day love died.
You lost humility and levity, I don’t think brevity was in that blend.
You swapped the baccy for the bevy when times were heavy, lost one more friend.
Sympathy and understanding are met with condescending and disdain.
Your manifest unfriendliness shows that it’s me you now detest.
How could I stay?
You call it the day I gave up smoking in the house, I call it the day love died.
So as I put my clothes on to go home I know I’m leaving,
to a future bright and new where the outlook really is too beautiful to be believed.
And when I’m on the road home I think, alone again? I don’t have to be.
I could go back the way I came, there’d be somewhere, someone, who would be pleased to see me.
You call it the day I gave up smoking in the house, I call it the day love died.
