Lautrec - Marlboro Man Lyrics

There once was a man
Lived and died in command
He was born around mortar shells
Amongst the fire and flames
There were holes on the walls
From the bullets and rain
And his friends had no legs
Not that they had somewhere to go
His veins pumped liquor
His lungs fumed cancer
For years to come
Cause he sold his bag of blood to
Another war
Another one
He raised another him
Then he had to go
And to the child of the child he said
Weathered and withered he said
(To the child of the child he said
Weathered and withered he said)

My child I know I make it difficult
But play that guitar for me
Go play that Romance for me
Because my fingers are getting weak
My hair and my blood are both getting thin
The wounds on my guts are now killing me
It's telling me
I've got no time
But I'm in your room
So let me pretend like I'm fine
Son I'm alright
And I hope you don't remember this
When you are old
But remember me
Go get what you want
And don't let em see you come down ya
Don't let em see you undone ya

He had two packs of smokes a day
A vodka every dinner and
He was a man of the God
The man of the Christ
Pack of smokes a day
Whiskey every dinner
I'm the sinner in the eyes of the God
The man of the time
Would I die authentic like the man
Am I living like a kid
Spending all my time in this
Would I lie fake a life to kill the king
Am I living in a dream
In Las Vegas with a fiend
Am I betting my heart and my time
For some gold on my wrist yeah
But you said
You said
You said
You said

My child I know I make it difficult
But play that guitar for me
Go play that Romance for me
Because my fingers are getting weak
My hair and my blood are both getting thin
The wounds on my guts are now killing me
It's telling me
I've got no time
But I'm in your room
So let me pretend like I'm fine
Son I'm alright
And I hope you don't remember this
When you are old
But remember me
Go get what you want
And don't let em see you come down ya
Don't let em see you undone ya

I behaved when you were here
Kind of bad since you were gone
Made a man when you left
But I'm still lost in myself
I believed when you were here
Hate God for he took you home
Wish we could've shared a drink
Sit and listen to your tales
Every time I visit your grave
I ask the same for I crave
Validation I need from a man
Dead is silent but I want to ask
Been a man for awhile now
So how do you
So how do you like me now
