This cigar burns a hole straight through my jeans, and through your heart
As i watch the ashes form another scar
That i will never show but somehow everybody seems to know my demons
In all my efforts i've committed treason
Chasing dreams that are changing like the seasons
They make me feel so small but i'm so proud to tell them all that

I'm a man now
I can drive a car
And i'm a dropout
I'm nobody so far
But i don't mess with cigarettes or alcohol
Cause i'm the best there is
And they tell me all the winners smoke cigars

This guitar is puring melodies that burn inside my heart
As the sound is broken up by passing cars
They don't know that i'm above
Or that i'm swimming in the middle of an ocean
I'm riding on a wave or pure emotion
I'm drinking up this sea like it's a potion
Maybe i can mend new wings
I'll either float or start to sink

Cause i'm a man now
I can drive a car
And i'm a dropout
I'm nobody so far
But i don't mess with cigarettes and alcohol
Cause i'm the best there is
And they tell me all the winner play guitar

And i know i've never been the kind to let them get inside my mind
You just got to see that i need them on my side
I promise not to breathe it in, or ever strum a chord again
Cause it burns my lungs and hurts my tounge to know that

This cigar burns a hole straight through my jeans through your heart
As we watch the ashes form another scar
That i will never show but somehow everybody seems to know my demons
In all my efforts i've committed treason
Chasing dreams that are changing like the seasons
I know that i'm so small but i'm so proud to tell you all that

I'm a man now
I can drive a car
I'm a dropout
I'm nobody so far
But i don't mess with cigarettes or alcohol
Cause i'm the best there is
And they tell me all the winners smoke cigars
