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

[VERSE]
F#                                                  E
He's a big-city, hard-working man just trying to climb the ladder
              B                                   F#
First generation to go to college instead of driving a tractor
F#                                             E
Never had nothing handed to him on a silver platter
                      B                                        F#
It's hard to be a good man, good son, do something good that matters

[CHORUS]
E        B           F#
He said, "I don't drink"
                        E
"But sometimes I wanna pop that top"
                   B
"Take a swig and make the world stop"
                   F#
"And watch it fade away"
 E         B         F#
He said, "I don't smoke"
                        E
"But sometimes I wanna light it up"
                B
"Yeah, when things get tough"
                             F#    E B F#
"Sometimes I need a smoke break, yeah"

[BRIDGE]
      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]
           F#
I don't drink
                          E
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
                B
Sipping from a high, full glass
B               F#
Let the world fade away
E        B        F#
Yeah, and I don't smoke
                       E
But sometimes I need a long drag
                   B
Yeah, I know it might sound bad
                     F#                  E
But sometimes I need a, sometimes I need a

[OUTRO]
F#
When the day gets long
E
When the work's all done
B
When the sun sets
           F#       E B
When you need to forget
F#
Grab that cup, 
E
Fill it up
B
Sip it slow
              F# E B F#
And let it all go
