When she asked him for the keys
Said, "I'm going to the market
Is there anything you need?"
The first quarter was underway
She pulled out of the driveway
Didn't stop at the market
She just drove right on by
Across the railroad tracks
She never once looked back
She went out for cigarettes
He didn't even know it yet
As far away as she can get
Passed the point of no regret
She went out for cigarettes
It's almost time for supper
But there is nothing on the stove
He looks up from his easy chair
He just noticed she's not there
She made a stop at the bank
Now she's racing down the highway
To where she does not know
She went out for cigarettes
He didn't even know it yet
As far away as she can get
Passed the point of no regret
She went out for cigarettes
She went out for cigarettes
