Marlboro Reds Lyrics

[Verse 1]
First thing in the morning on her second cup of coffee
Said, "Girl, I need a smoke break"
Sitting on the front steps, talking through her cigarette
Life's a drag, you learn the hard way
What it is, what it wasn’t
How she lived through her third husband
Looked at my left hand, when you gonna find a man
I said the day you quit those things
And she just laughed, grabbed the last one out the pack
She said…

[Chorus]
One day everybody's gonna wind up dead
Between a heartbreak and a hard place, get pretty good at cheating death
I lose another lover and I just light up another and it ain't killed me yet, so
Good luck to the Marlboro Reds

[Verse 2]
It ain’t my decision when it's time to go to Heaven but I'm ready when He calls my name
Might be a little late when I hit the pearly gates but I'm burning rubber on my way
Don't wanna go too soon, but Lord knows I ain't scared to
'Til then all I can tell you is

[Chorus]
One day everybody's gonna wind up dead
Between a heartbreak and a hard place, get pretty good at cheating death
I lose another lover and I just light up another and it ain’t killed me yet, so
Good luck to the Marlboro Reds
[Bridge]
’Cause what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
I guess they must have made me live a little longer

[Interlude]
Ooh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
One day everybody’s gonna wind up dead
Between a heartbreak and a hard place, get pretty good at cheating death
I lose another lover and I just light up another and it ain't killed me yet, so
Good luck to the Marlboro
Good luck to the Marlboro Reds

[Outro]
Good luck to the Marlboro Reds, mm
Reds

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
