[00:23.74]I've got five minutes to sneak a cigarette
[00:32.37]Five minutes to myself
[00:37.74]Back behind the screen door of Andy's luncheonette
[00:43.43]And I ain't got time to worry 'bout my health
[00:51.37]My boss Andy says I smoke myself to death
[00:57.56]Andy he reminds me some of you
[01:03.99]Back when you were Romeo and I was Juliet
[01:09.93]West Texas Capulet and Montague
[01:14.24].
[01:17.68]Now I don't think too much about you anymore
[01:25.18]We weren't much more than kids
[01:29.68]It was nearly twenty years ago
[01:33.55]I shut and locked that door
[01:37.93]Now I've got five minutes
[01:43.49]Not much time to reminisce
[01:46.30].
[01:59.58]Most nights I come home from work and I pour a glass of wine
[02:05.82]Sometimes it's three or four before I stop
[02:13.01]And Jessie makes a sandwich if I sleep through suppertime
[02:19.14]And she leaves me on the couch to sleep it off
[02:26.73]Now Jessie just turned 17 and she's wild as she can be
[02:33.98]And there ain't nothin' I can do
[02:39.56]Last weekend she ran off to meet a boy in Tennessee
[02:47.93]Just like I used to run to you
[02:51.68].
[02:53.99]I gave her hell when she came home this afternoon
[03:01.12]Mascara runnin' down her face
[03:06.62]Seems like history repeats itself,
[03:10.68]and it ain't up to you
[03:15.18]And in five minutes
[03:21.37]Your whole life can change
[03:23.81].
[03:36.72]Andy he's good to me,
[03:39.34]and I can see it in his eyes
[03:44.65]He'd love to take your place
[03:50.34]But somethin' deep inside me
[03:53.78]just withers up and dies
[03:56.40]To make love to him
[03:58.72]and only see your face
[04:00.97].
[04:04.21]Somehow I've let myself go gently down the stream
[04:11.47]A fine example I have set
[04:16.66]Between the working and the livin'
[04:20.53]and the ghosts that haunt my dreams
[04:25.77]I've got five minutes
[04:30.72]and I'm gonna smoke this cigarette
[04:33.84].
