The First Thing Smokin'

All they sold was a one-way ticket

'Cause you don't come back from here

I ran all night with the damned and the wicked

Tryin' to break out into the clear

I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')

I caught the first thing smokin' (Yeah, I caught the first thing smokin')

I caught the first thing smokin'

And I took it for a long, long ride

Now, my path was laid on a star-crossed night

As Satan showed his hand

I heard angels weep as they watched the plight

Of a soul without a chance

I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')

I caught the first thing smokin' (Hey, I caught the first thing smokin')

I caught the first thing smokin'

And I took it for a long, long ride

Huh! Huh!

From an empty grave on the other side

I could hear the demons wail

The truth I sought came wrapped in lies

With the postage due in Hell

Oh, I caught the first thing smokin' (Ooh, I caught the first thing smokin')

I caught the first thing smokin' (Yeah, I caught the first thing smokin')

I caught the first thing smokin'

And I took it for a long, long ride

Huh! Huh!

You were just seventeen

Do you know what I mean?

Oh, oh, I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')

I caught the first thing smokin' (Hey, I caught the first thing smokin')

I caught the first thing smokin'

And I took it for a long, long ride

Huh! Huh!
