Chorus:
E7
Smokin'... Smokin'...
A E7
Got caught smokin' at the Ale House
(2x)
E7 (swingy - all day)
Well the band got together 'cause it been so long
Was beginning of summer so we had to get it on
Johhny B. got his kit; ol' Goother brought his smile
Toys was in the Ox cart, Gizzard was in style
and we was smokin'...
Well the bar was kinda empty when we loaded up the stage
but James the bartender greeted us with rage
"Don't play too loud or I'll show you the door
Spill yer drinks and you'll be moppin' up the floor
and No Smokin!..."
Well we smoke in the mornin' and we smoke at night
We smoke when we got money and we smoke when it's tight
We smoke when we's healthy and we smoke when we bleed
We smoke just about whenever we please
and we was smokin'...
So we cooked up a set and we laid it down in style
Then we said we're gonna take a break for a while
The coach was in the room and my momma was too.
But that didn't stop us from what we had to do
We was smokin'...
Now James was kinda ugly and James was kinda short
but he knew we'd kick his ass if he was all alone
so when he caught the boys a smokin' he knew just what to do
He hid behind the boss who yanked our fuse
'cause we was smokin'...
So we loaded up the Ox cart and took a short flight
Set up in the country where we played all night
Now James is still ugly and he ain't grown an inch
But if he needs to find us he can get us in a pinch
We'll be smokin...
