Chely Wright › Lyrics › She Went out for Cigarettes

He was glued to the TV when she asked him for the keys
Said, "I'm going to the market is there anything you need?"
The first quarter was underway, he never missed a play

She pulled out of the driveway took a left at the light
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 and just kept driving on
He doesn't even know it yet but she's gone
As far away as she can get, passed the point of no regret
She went out for cigarettes and just kept driving on

Half time is over, the sun is sinking low
It's almost time for supper but there's 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, took out some cash
Now she's racing down the highway on a full tank of gas
As fast as she can go to where she doesn't know

She went out for cigarettes and just kept driving on
He doesn't even know it yet but she's gone
As far away as she can get, passed the point of no regret
She went out for cigarettes and just kept driving on
She went out for cigarettes and drove on
