Brown liquor and black coffee
Puts my headache off for now
The hurt last night put on me
Still spinnin' me around
And now that I've a smoke
Even though I can hardly breathe
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need

Another night of bad decisions
There's one still layin' in my bed
The bastard in me wishes
He done woke up first and left
And you'd think a girl on fire
Would stay away from gasoline
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need

Oh, the last thing I need is to need you like I do
And the first thing I reach for is anything but you
If I can keep away the lonely for a moment
Well, that's good enough for me
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need

If I can keep away the lonely for a moment
Well, that's good enough for me
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
The first thing I reach for is the last thing I need
