When I'm down she lifts me up, when I'm anxious she calms me down.
When I can't stand the brightness of the sun she turns my vision down.
They say is not good for me, but see, my family has this tradition.
Between alcohol and smoke, I choose her.
All the smoke lodges up in my lungs and I smile.
Rotten inside and happy for the ride.
