Cigarettes and Sweetarts (Original Lyrics)

She wanted cigarettes and SweeTarts She was my one and only sweetheart I ran up and told her Before she ran off to Boulder That she’ll never find another man Quite like me again And when it’s too late She’d be filled with doubt and all kinds of regret Now I’m buildin’ on my new life All cuddled up with my beautiful wife Workin’ on some children A big ol’ house with that white picket fence She wanted cigarettes and SweeTarts But I wanted love that would make sense She always had one foot out the door Always dreamin’ ‘bout a little bit more Said this town felt way too small Wanted neon lights and a life that was big and tall I tried to convince her to stay But she wasn’t havin’ any of that Now the memories keep coming back But they’re everything short of the facts Now I’m livin’ in a fantasy With a wonderful wife and a couple of kids A dog and a cat And a whole bunch of friends She wanted cigarettes and SweeTarts But I found a love that’ll never end Funny how life turns out this way She thought she’d find somethin’ better someday But I heard she’s still out there Still chasin’ a dream that never played fair She wanted cigarettes and SweeTarts She was my one and only sweetheart I ran up and told her Before she ran off to Boulder That she’ll never find another man Quite like me again
