This Cigar Lyrics & Chords By Josiah Leming

This cigar
burns a hole straight through my jeans
and through your heart
as I watch the ashes form another scar
that I will never show
but somehow everybody seems
to know my demons
in all my efforts I've committed treason
for chasing dreams that are changing
like the seasons
they make me feel so small
but I'm so proud to tell them all

that I'm a man now
I can drive a car
and I'm a drop out
I'm nobody so far
but I don't mess with cigarettes and alcohol
'cause I'm the best there is
and they tell me all the winners smoke cigars

this guitar
is pouring melodies that burn
inside my heart
as the sound is broken up
by passing cars
they don't know that I'm above
or that I'm swimming in the middle of an ocean
I'm riding on a wave
of pure emotion
I'm taking up the sea like it's a potion
maybe it can lend me wings
I'll either float or start to sink

'cause I'm a man now
I can drive a car
and I'm a drop out
I'm nobody so far
but I don't mess with cigarettes and alcohol
'cause I'm the best there is
and they tell me all the winners play guitar

and I know I've never been the kind
to let them get inside my mind
you just got to see
that I need them more my side
I promise not to breath it in
or ever strum a chord again
'cause it burns my lungs
and hurts my tounge
to know that

this cigar
burns a hole straight through my jeans
and through your heart
as we watch the ashes form another scar
that I will never show
but somehow everybody seems
to know my demons
in all my efforts I've comitted treason
for chasing dreams that are changing like the seasons
I know that I'm so small
but I'm so proud to tell them all

that I'm a man now
I can drive a car
and I'm a drop out
I'm nobody so far
but I don't mess with cigarettes and alcohol
'cause I'm the best there is
and they tell me all the winners smoke cigars
