         F#
She's a small-town, hard-working
                       E
woman just trying to make a living
                     B
Working three jobs, feeding four little mouths
               F#
in a run-down kitchen
          F#
When you never taking nothing and doing
         E
nothing but giving
              B
It's hard to be a good wife and a
                 F#
good mom and a good Christian

Chorus:
E         B         F#
She said, I don't drink
                         E
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
                B
Sipping from a high, full glass
                     F#
Let the world fade away
E         B        F#
She said, I don't smoke
                        E
But sometimes I need a long drag
                 B
Yeah, I know it might sound bad
                        F#        E B F#
But sometimes I need a smoke break

He's a big-city, hard-workin' man
just tryna climb the ladder
First generation to go to college
instead of drivin' a tractor
Never had nothin' handed to him on a silver platter
It's hard to be a good man, good son
Do somethin' good that matters

Chorus:
He said, "I don't drink
But sometimes I wanna pop that top
Take a swig and make the world stop
And watch it fade away"
He said, "I don't smoke
But sometimes I wanna light it up
Yeah, when things get tough
Sometimes I need a smoke break"
Yeah

E B F#                                   E
So here's to you and here's to when the day gets
long
     B                                      F#
Go ahead, I understand if you wanna take a load off

Chorus:
I don't drink
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
Sipping from a highball glass
Let the world fade away
Yeah, and I don't smoke
But sometimes I need a long drag
Yeah, I know it might sound bad
But sometimes I need a, sometimes I need a

When the day gets long
When the work's all done
When the sun sets
When you need to forget
Grab that cup, mmm
Fill it up
Sip it slow
And let it all go
Ooh
