Intro: Verse: She’s a small-town hard-working woman just trying to make a living Working three jobs feeding four little mouths in a run-down kitchen When you never taking nothing and doing nothing but giving It’s hard to be a good wife and a good mom and a good Christian She said I don’t drink But sometimes I need a stiff drink Sipping from a high full glass Let the world fade away She said I don’t smoke But sometimes I need a long drag Yeah I know it might sound bad But sometimes I need a smoke break Verse: He’s a big-city hard-working man just trying to climb the ladder First generation to go to college instead of driving a tractor Never had nothing handed to him on a silver platter It’s hard to be a good man good son do something good that matters He said I don’t drink But sometimes I wanna pop that top Take a swig and make the world stop And watch it fade away He said I don’t smoke But sometimes I wanna light it up Yeah when things get tough Sometimes I need a smoke break Bridge: So here’s to you and here’s to when the day gets long Go ahead I understand if you wanna take a load off () I don’t drink But sometimes I need a stiff drink Sipping from a high full glass Let the world fade away She said I don’t smoke But sometimes I need a long drag Yeah I know it might sound bad But sometimes I need a () Sometimes I need a Outro: When the day gets long When the work’s all done When the sun sets When you need to forgeeeeeeet Grab that cup mmm Fill it up Sip it slow And let it aaaaaaall go End on

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la lutte quotidienne de personnes travaillant dur, que ce soit dans une petite ville ou dans une grande ville, pour subvenir à leurs besoins tout en jonglant avec les responsabilités familiales et personnelles. Elle parle de l'importance du répit dans la vie, où parfois, même si l'on ne consomme pas d'alcool ou de tabac, on ressent le besoin de se détendre et de s'évader, juste un instant, pour oublier les soucis. Le contexte présente deux figures, une femme et un homme, chacun confronté à ses propres défis, qui recherchent un moyen de soulager la pression de leur existence souvent accablante. Ils reconnaissent que, malgré leurs valeurs, il est normal d'avoir besoin d'une pause, d'un petit moment de répit pour retrouver un peu de sérénité.
