With cigarettes and papers and Oreos

She says that's nothing, when she was a kid
    G                           Cadd9  G
She danced with the Dead at the pyramids

Smelling like Coors and cheap cologne
    G                           Cadd9     G
She tells me not to worry about Judgment Day
         G
She says dyin' to live in heaven just ain't our way

I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream
