Lucky Strike from PEARLY JENKINS by Pearly Jenkins

I'm three cigarettes away,
From a good time.
And three drinks from knowin' your memory,
Won't stop by tonight.
And these three hundred miles between us,
Just might be forever.
So I'm three shots and three lucky strikes,
From when you said goodbye.

Well there's a woman who sits on my left,
Thinks she can cure me.
She thinks she can pick up my pieces,
And hold me tonight.
But this bar stool is just where i'm stuck,
And just where i'm stayin'.
In case you have a big change of heart,
And it changes your mind.

I'm three cigarettes away,
From a good time.
And three drinks from knowin' your memory,
Won't stop by tonight.
And these three hundred miles between us,
Just might be forever.
So I'm three shots and three lucky strikes,
From when you said goodbye.

I can't think of nothin' that happened,
To cause you to leave dear.
I've thought of everything,
But come up lost.
You never did give ant rhyme,
Nor any reason.
You just stepped off and left me at once,
Now I feel the cost.

I'm three cigarettes away,
From a good time.
And three drinks from knowin' your memory,
Won't stop by tonight.
And these three hundred miles between us,
Just might be forever.
So I'm three shots and three lucky strikes,
From when you said goodbye.
