This thing called Happiness

Ever since you been gone
I been getting it on with this thing called Happiness.
Ever since you been gone,
I've had a smile on my face.
Ever since you been gone,
I have felt comfortable in this place called my space.
I thought that I could never live without you,
now I'm happy as hell that you are gone.
You took everything with you,
but that was a small price to pay
to have my days, once again, go away.
Don't come back.
Don't come back.
Even the dogs are glad that you are gone.
Don't come back.
Don't come back,
the cats are no longer hiding under the bed.

I'm smoking and I'm drinking

Well I'm smoking and I'm drinking
when I'm supposed to be at an AA meeting.
Yeah, I'm smoking, and I'm drinking
when I'm supposed to be at an AA meeting
I told my girlfriend that I quit smoking,
Lordy did it make her smile
but soon as she went to work
I went to the store and got me a pack.
I'm smoking, and I'm drinking
yeah I'm smoking and I'm drinking
Judge told me that I had to go to AA meetings
Judge told me to go to AA meetings
or go to jail.
I love my baby, and I hate sitting inside the jail.
Yeah, I love my baby, I love my baby,
and I hate going to jail.
Devil must be inside me.
Devil must be inside me,
sometimes I go to church, but I don't learn a thing.
I'm supposed to be at an AA meeting
but I'm drinking
My girl don't want me smoking
but I'm puffing away.
It don't make no sense to me,
but I'm doing it anyway.
