Country music superstar Carrie Underwood co-wrote “Smoke Break” with Chris DeStefano and Hillary Lindsey.
She’s a small-town, hard-working woman just trying to make a living
Working three jobs, feeding four little mouths in a run-down kitchen
When you never taking nothing and doing nothing but giving
It’s hard to be a good wife and a good mom and a good Christian
She said, I don’t drink
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
Sipping from a high, full glass
Let the world fade away
She said, I don’t smoke
But sometimes I need a long drag
Yeah, I know it might sound bad
But sometimes I need a smoke break
He’s a big-city, hard-working man just trying to climb the ladder
First generation to go to college instead of driving a tractor
Never had nothing handed to him on a silver platter
It’s hard to be a good man, good son, do something good that matters
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
So here’s to you and here’s to when the day gets long
Go ahead, I understand if you wanna take a load off
I don’t drink
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
Sipping from a high, full 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
Fill it up
Sip it slow
And let it all go
