Marlboro Reds
VerseI still remember you on a worn-down tailgate
Lit up by that Comal County moonlight
Not a sound around, or a soul in sight
We were the crickets for the night
ChorusYou told me all your secrets
I told you all my sins
Just prayin' you would take me as I am
You told me that you'd never settle
Then you settled in the back of my head
When I think of you
I think of Marlboro Reds
VerseYou ever strive for something
That you know you can't have?
But you thank God you had it when you did
When I was around you
I felt I could be the man
That I spent so much time tryin' to keep hid
ChorusYou told me all your secrets
I told you all my sins
Just prayin' you would take me as I am
You told me that you'd never settle
Then you settled in the back of my head
When I think of you
I think of Marlboro Reds
BridgeAnd I could try and say that I ain't been painting this town
Maybe lie, try and say that I finally put 'em down
But you know as good as I do
I never quite quit thinkin' of you
ChorusYou told me all your secrets
I told you all my sins
Just prayin' you would take me as I am
You told me that you'd never settle
But you settled in the back of my head
When I think of you
I think of Marlboro Reds
Damn the Marlboro Reds
OutroFading out like a cigarette light
We were the crickets for the night
