Can’t Get A Light Lyrics



Music & lyrics: john popper

Driving around on a monday morning
Got school in four hours, but I blew my last warning
Not much point in going today
They dont need me anyway
Decided Im tired of looking for the catch
Im down to my last cigarette
Gonna smoke it down, and try to forget
I know I could make it through the night
If I could only get a light
But as it happens, I dont have a match

Im in love, Im in hock
Im flunking school, dont know why Im shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a light

Well, Im always in my bit of debt
I bet I owe someone my last cigarette
In fact, everything I have, I owe
My mind, my soul, my clothes, my dough
I guess someday, Ill pay off my dues
Well, Im still driving, and heading south
With an unlit cigarette hanging out my mouth
It wont be long before the dawn
Still with all my matches gone
And Im just awake enough to get the blues

Im in love, Im in hock
Im flunking school, dont know why Im shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a light
Nothings coming right

Well, Im just too tired to think about my baby
Is she a yes, or just another maybe
I wish that I could tell her so
But Im just too scared to let her know
Just how it is I want things to be
Well, if I could have just one last smoke
Life might seem like just another joke
Tomorrow wouldnt be so bad
I wish it was a match I had
A smoke is quite essential to someone like me

Im in love, Im in hock
Im flunking school, dont know why Im shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a light

Well, so a brand new days begun
But I just cannot seem to get this game won
I guess Im sorta lucky, though
Cause everybody tells me so
Blew my last chance a long time ago, theres nothing left but strife
Well, maybe someday Ill get out from under
And everybody gonna feel my thunder
But I dont think itll go down that way
If Im having trouble lasting one more day
Cigarettes and no matches
Thats the story of my life
Wheres that rusty knife

Im in love, Im in hock
Im flunking school, dont know why Im shocked
I said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a light
