I left my last pack  Of cigarettes in the back  Of that long black Cadillac  The day that habit took Daddy down  Spent the next year or so  Emptying bottles on a lonely road  Until the night that train came just close enough  To straighten me out    But don’t think I don’t get a whiff of smoke  And need a drag so bad I could choke  I still taste the Crown in my Coke  I know I’m better off without it  But don’t think I don’t think about it    I took a wood match  To a faded photograph  And I watched us split in half  As if that hadn’t already happened  I don’t drive by her house  Hoping she’ll walk out  I steer clear of that part of town  Hell it ain’t worth the traffic    Don’t think I don’t see two people in love  And wish I could swing by and pick her up  I know that road no longer leads to us  There’s no need to go back down it  But don’t think I don’t think about it    I’ve got a ghost who likes to drink and smoke  And bring her home at night  He still rattles his chains but I ain’t afraid  Since I got my head on right  Gonna go the long way around  I won’t take the easy way out  But don’t think I don’t think about it
