 (Verse and Chorus:)
 Smoke  em if you  got em, drink your glasses  to the bottom,
 and toast  me on  another year.
 Another year  of hope,  another year  of holdin on,
 you drinkers  by day  and bastards  by dawn
 And I hope  I will see  you soon,
 and I'll  be home  come hell  or high water,
 and I  know I  will see you soon.
 (INTRO)
 (Verse 2)
 Gather  round friends and neighbors,  who make their  living by labor
 and share  with me  this little time.
 This little time  that we have left,  to have drink  and catch a breath
 well it might  just be  what saves our  lives.
 (Chorus)
 (INTRO)
 (Verse 3)
 Smoke  em if you  got em, drink your glasses  to the bottom
 and listen  to the howling dogs.
 and oh  how it pleases  me, to be  in such company
 and im so  glad our paths  have crossed
 (chorus all the way through)
 (then again end on...)
 and ill be home come hell or high water
 and i know i will see you soon
