Carrie Underwood - Smoke Break Lyrics






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 highball 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 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,
Fill it up
Sip it slow
And let it all go

    Masterfully mixed by engineering legend Chris Lord-Alge. See a short clip of him in the studio mixing this song. You'll find it interesting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrXy9w6GnDA&t=45s

    This song resonates with me so much. I left the farm, got an education, and started a good career in the corporate world. After 5 years of that all I could think about was how I wish I were working on the tractor than at my desk. I moved home a few years ago and it's been the best decision I ever made.

  10. D.... L....

    Our LORD Jesus blessed you honey. You must pinch yourself everyday because he loves you. You earned it, you deserve it and by gosh, you own it.
    You make us boomer parents very proud. Congrats to your parents for raising a beautiful daughter.
    My grandson one time saw your picture on the rag tags and thought you were his mama. I laughed so hard because he was only 3. My daughter looks like you. She married my beautiful Doctor son in law. It's nice having a Doctor in the family. Bless you and your family.

  11. N.... B....

    Amazing tune & amazing mixing by the great CLA !!

    N.... B....

    I don’t smoke but sometimes I need a long drag of vapor from a e cigarette or a nicotine buzz from a nicotine pouch. I can remember when I used to vape sometimes 6 % of e juice plus I I am a repeated hit vapor meaning 1 hit after the next kind of like a chain smoker I would get so dizzy it would knock me on my ass laying on the floor or my bed then after that go throw up in the toilet. It left me with a decent nicotine kick but after a while I felt good as could be ready to start my day right the next day

  17. F.... P....

    Yeah I’ll take a woman that grabs a smoke over the obese whales for women we have now

  18. R.... A....

    go ahead I understand... take a load off

  19. M.... W....

    great song and fantastic voice, terrific woman

    M.... W....

    The best of her imo

  21. f.... y....

    This is so true i really dont smoke but some times at work and school i just needa go out and smoke and relax

  22. I.... J....

    I hope im wrong, but this "christian" song hears to me like "it aint bad drinking or smoking if you're a christian" which'd be a nightmare

    I.... J....

    What makes you think this is a Christian song?

  23. A.... M....

    We NEED to hear this song on work radio; it's SO good
    PS Storyteller came out on 10/23/2015
    Carnival Ride came out on 10/23/2007

  24. C.... J....

    I'm not from the south but sometimes I need a good story set to music.

  25. M.... v....

    i want to get a smoke break

  26. D.... W....

    Just damn she kills it 🤙🏻

  27. c.... c....

    listened to this in prison,, whatever gets you threw the hard times in life just to stay yourself and keep a going,,bless ya al...dont give in

  28. K.... W....

    This just saved my life. I was thinking about hurting me after a seriously depressed situation due to a long hard relationship. I need it to last but both of us are depressed and neither of us want to stop hurting each other because of our pain

  29. K.... W....

    This is true. I'm a teen but I'm without a dad and sometimes I have a couple of sips of wine when I'm doing fine. But it's a secret. This song is really true. And I'm a Christian but sometimes it's good to have a little. I'm a country girl too born in Stockton and relationship stress.

  30. d.... d....

    I know she’s not the sex symbol or anything but if I could pick one celebrity that I’d smash it like given three wishes she’d be it

  31. A.... K....

    1:55 her outfit is hot I want to have a girlfriend with blonde long hair, a good singer, hot, smart, and fit as carrie with all of her outfit😘😍❤

    This was the hottest Carrie Underwood has ever looked and it's only a few months after having a baby.

  36. T.... D....

    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

  37. S.... R....

    "Had nothing handed to him on a silver platter." I can definitely relate to that deeply! Especially seeing todays guys pissing away a college education, and not giving a damn or grateful for that matter to his parents for loving him and caring about his future!!

  38. m.... C....
