Dwight Yoakam -
South of Heaven, West of Hell (Songs and Score from and Inspired by the Motion Picture)
The First Thing Smokin (Soundtrack Version) [Remastered Version]
All they sold was a one-way ticket
'Cause you don't come back from here
I ran all night with the damned and the wicked
Tryin' to break out into the clear
I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Yeah, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride
Now, my path was laid on a star-crossed night
As Satan showed his hand
I heard angels weep as they watched the plight
Of a soul without a chance
I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Hey, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride
Huh! Huh!
From an empty grave on the other side
I could hear the demons wail
The truth I sought came wrapped in lies
With the postage due in Hell
Oh, I caught the first thing smokin' (Ooh, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Yeah, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride
Huh! Huh!
You were just seventeen
Do you know what I mean?
Oh, oh, I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Hey, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride
Huh! Huh!
'Cause you don't come back from here
I ran all night with the damned and the wicked
Tryin' to break out into the clear
I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Yeah, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride
Now, my path was laid on a star-crossed night
As Satan showed his hand
I heard angels weep as they watched the plight
Of a soul without a chance
I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Hey, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride
Huh! Huh!
From an empty grave on the other side
I could hear the demons wail
The truth I sought came wrapped in lies
With the postage due in Hell
Oh, I caught the first thing smokin' (Ooh, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Yeah, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride
Huh! Huh!
You were just seventeen
Do you know what I mean?
Oh, oh, I caught the first thing smokin' (Mm, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin' (Hey, I caught the first thing smokin')
I caught the first thing smokin'
And I took it for a long, long ride
Huh! Huh!
