Blues Traveler - Can't Get A Light Lyrics
Music & lyrics: john popperDriving around on a monday morningGot school in four hours, but I blew my last warningNot much point in going todayThey dont need me anywayDecided Im tired of looking for the catchIm down to my last cigaretteGonna smoke it down, and try to forgetI know I could make it through the nightIf I could only get a lightBut as it happens, I dont have a matchIm in love, Im in hockIm flunking school, dont know why Im shockedI said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a lightWell, Im always in my bit of debtI bet I owe someone my last cigaretteIn fact, everything I have, I oweMy mind, my soul, my clothes, my doughI guess someday, Ill pay off my duesWell, Im still driving, and heading southWith an unlit cigarette hanging out my mouthIt wont be long before the dawnStill with all my matches goneAnd Im just awake enough to get the bluesIm in love, Im in hockIm flunking school, dont know why Im shockedI said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a lightNothings coming rightWell, Im just too tired to think about my babyIs she a yes, or just another maybeI wish that I could tell her soBut Im just too scared to let her knowJust how it is I want things to beWell, if I could have just one last smokeLife might seem like just another jokeTomorrow wouldnt be so badI wish it was a match I hadA smoke is quite essential to someone like meIm in love, Im in hockIm flunking school, dont know why Im shockedI said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a lightWell, so a brand new days begunBut I just cannot seem to get this game wonI guess Im sorta lucky, thoughCause everybody tells me soBlew my last chance a long time ago, theres nothing left but strifeWell, maybe someday Ill get out from underAnd everybody gonna feel my thunderBut I dont think itll go down that wayIf Im having trouble lasting one more dayCigarettes and no matchesThats the story of my lifeWheres that rusty knifeIm in love, Im in hockIm flunking school, dont know why Im shockedI said, the worst, the worst of all, I cant get a light
