Tonight I Smoked My Last Cigarette

Giving up on my vices
I'm too ideal to be this naive
Concluding that the worth I have is more
Habits I've quit a dozen times before

I got the title from Jed
We sang a song or two
Making up the time he has to give
One more joke, his last night to live

Only in our town
Tomorrow he moves to the city
A place to find a new scene
Where judges don't get to reconvene

Because statues and temples
Don't belong close by
Bring some drama that is good to hear
A discussion to have when he is near

So, tonight I'll take it back
All of these pictures
Shaped up and ripped out
Don't act like you were ever a boy scout
