Secondhand Smoke Songtext
von Jules Olson

"Late again,
Hair smelling like cigarettes
She carries a change of clothes,
It helps to disguise the scent
Of the night she spent
Getting no sleep again
He was yelling
Screaming and throwing shame
So she pours a glass of wine
And says it′s just one this time
But it always goes to her head
Faster than she expects, like
Secondhand smoke,
She's breathing in
And no one else knows
Where it began
Virginia
Virginia
And the money′s tight
So she's working long hours through the night


But the market's tough
Yeah it′ll knock you down and spit you up
And it always goes to her head
Far worse than she expects, like
Secondhand smoke
She′s breathing in
And no one else knows
Where it began
Virginia
Virginia
"Am I losing you?" she says to her little girl
"If there's nothing I can do, just let me know"
Secondhand smoke
She′s breathing in, all these years
And no one else knows
Where it began
Virginia
Virginia
Virginia
Virginia"
