I've long been addicted to second hand smoke
I'd be addicted to more if I wasn't always broke
The trails I leave are filled with others tears
And highway signs whisper riddles that only I can hear
When I feel weak my baby makes me strong
We do the bonedance until the break of dawn
Till the break of dawn
From the black mountain hillsides from where I came
My back was my lifeblood 'till my pistol brought me fame
Now my wallet's fat, I never go without a meal
To the weak I'm Superman who stays stoned in the killing fields
My baby looks at me and acts if nothing's wrong
We do the bonedance until the break of dawn
Till the break of dawn
The roadside is a paradise, we take just what we want to take
'Cause my baby gets a thrill when other pay for my mistakes
Everyday I face good men who fear an early grave
My reward rises as the smoke clears 'cause I'm the one who walks away
I've long been addicted to second hand smoke
Now I'm addicted to more, tell the bloodstains on my coat
The more I give my baby, the more her kisses bring
It's made me realize that right and wrong are the same thing
When I can't speak my baby sings a song
We do the bonedance until the break of dawn
Till the break of dawn
The roadside is a paradise, we take just what we want to take
'Cause my baby gets a thrill when other pay for my mistakes
Everyday I face good men who fear an early grave
My reward rises as the smoke clears 'cause I'm the one who walks away
