Lyric
Reasons to quitThe smoke and booze don’t do me like beforeAnd I’m hardly ever soberAnd my old friends don’t come around much anymoreReasons to quitThe low it always lower than the highAnd the reasons to quitDon’t out number all the reasons whySo we keep smokin’ and we keep drinkin’Havin’ fun and never thinkin’Laughin’ at the price tag that we payAnd we keep roarin’ down the fast laneLike two young men feelin’ no painAnd the reason for quittin’sGettin’ bigger each dayReasons to quitI can’t afford the habit all the timeI need to be soberI need to write some new songs that will rhymeReasons to quitThey have no rhyme or reason when you’re highAnd the reasons to quitDon’t out number all the reasons whyAnd we keep smokin’ and we keep drinkin’Havin’ fun, never thinkin’And laughin’ at the price tag that we payAnd we keep roarin’ down the fast laneLike two young men feelin’ no painAnd the reason for quittin’sGettin’ bigger each dayAnd the reason for quittin’sGettin’ bigger each day
