Candy Cigarettes Lyrics

I was freshly 16

When bubba got caught

Smoking weed

And drinkin on the weekends

Sounded like a sin to me

I couldn't fathom why

He'd want to get drunk so much

Thought if he'd go to jail

He was destined for hell

Then I asked the lord one day

For his saving grace to wash over him

Then I found myself sneaking out to have a good ol' drag out on the river bend

Mama came down and I didn't know

She saw something in between my fingers before I put it to rest

Mama I swear it was a candy cigarette

I remember being young

Buying those things at the store

Swear mama saw it comin'

So why in the world

I only wanted to find out by myself

Why anyone would want to fill their lungs with death

Mama I swear it was a candy cigarette

Then I asked the lord one day

For his saving grace to come wash over me

Then I found myself buying in bulk

Trying to get the buzz that kept me pleased

Mama came down and i didn't know

She saw something in between my fingers before I put it to rest

Mama I swear it was a candy cigarette
