Never wanna be what I saw today
Drivin' past in her husband's car
She had that look - that tired face
While her man drove to the bar

From there she'll take over the shoppin' list
While Charlie has a cold tall beer
She'll push that cart but remember those promises
That she once held so dear

CHORUS
Cigarettes, and icecubes please today
Will you fill 'er up mister, blow that smoke my way
Well I wanna hear the latest that you might have to say
While I have my cigarette and drink today

Now Sally believes she's forgotten how to be
The woman that she once was
Oh, he hasn't made love to her in fifteen years
Now she doesn't care what he does

Not even sober, can he get it up
As she bitterly recalls the days
When he'd throw her down most anywhere
And screw himself to a daze

(CHORUS)

Now the salt from her tears tastes good today
'Cause tomorrow is almost here
And tomorrow is the day she's waited for
Tomorrow she's outta there

Sshe'll turn her back, and turn that key
Just ride that bus away
She'll have more than a reason to celebrate
With a cigarette and drink today...

(SAX SOLO)
(CHORUS)
