Lyrics
0:25I've got five minutes to sneak a cigarette
0:36Five minutes to myself
0:44Back behind the screen door of
0:48Andy's luncheonette
0:52And I ain't got time to worry 'bout my health
1:02My boss Andy says I smoke myself to death
1:11Andy he reminds me some of you
1:20Back when you were Romeo and I was Juliet
1:28West Texas Capulet and Montague
1:37Now I don't think too much about you anymore
1:47We weren't much more than kids
1:53It was nearly twenty years ago
1:58I shut and locked that door
2:04Now I've got five minutes
2:10Not much time to reminisce
2:22Most nights I come home from work and
2:27I pour a glass of wine
2:31Sometimes it's three or four before I stop
2:39And Jessie makes a sandwich if
2:43I sleep through suppertime
2:47And she leaves me on the couch to sleep it off
2:57Now Jessie just turned 17 and
3:01She's wild as she can be
3:06And there ain't nothin' I can do
3:14Last weekend she ran off to
3:17Meet a boy in Tennessee
3:24Just like I used to run to you
3:32I gave her hell when
3:34She came home this afternoon
3:41Mascara runnin' down her face
3:47Seems like history repeats itself
3:53And it ain't up to you
3:59And in five minutes
4:05Your whole life can change
4:44Andy he's good to me and
4:47I can see it in his eyes
4:54He'd love to take your place
5:00But somethin' deep inside me
5:05Just withers up and dies
5:09To make love to him and
5:12Only see your face
5:19Somehow I've let myself go
5:22Gently down the stream
5:28A fine example I have set
5:34Between the working and the livin'
5:39And the ghosts that haunt my dreams
5:47I've got five minutes and
5:54I'm gonna smoke this cigarette
I've got five minutes to sneak a cigarette Five minutes to myself Back behind the screen door of Andy's luncheonette And I ain't got time to worry 'bout my health My boss Andy says I smoke myself to death Andy he reminds me some of you Back when you were Romeo and I was Juliet West Texas Capulet and Montague Now I don't think too much about you anymore We weren't much more than kids It was nearly twenty years ago I shut and locked that door Now I've got five minutes Not much time to reminisce Most nights I come home from work and I pour a glass of wine Sometimes it's three or four before I stop And Jessie makes a sandwich if I sleep through suppertime And she leaves me on the couch to sleep it off Now Jessie just turned 17 and She's wild as she can be And there ain't nothin' I can do Last weekend she ran off to Meet a boy in Tennessee Just like I used to run to you I gave her hell when She came home this afternoon Mascara runnin' down her face Seems like history repeats itself And it ain't up to you And in five minutes Your whole life can change Andy he's good to me and I can see it in his eyes He'd love to take your place But somethin' deep inside me Just withers up and dies To make love to him and Only see your face Somehow I've let myself go Gently down the stream A fine example I have set Between the working and the livin' And the ghosts that haunt my dreams I've got five minutes and I'm gonna smoke this cigarette
