I Save Cigarette Butts
[Verse 1]
I save cigarette butts for a poor girl
Across town
We were making marriage plans
A guy came over and took her to
A wrestling match
Later that evening, Frankenstein and the beauty queen
Sat thumbing through a Better Homes & Gardens magazine
Making plans and holding hands
Along came a spider and sat down beside her
And took her to a wrestling match
I had a dream
I had a dream just the other night
I had a dream about these angels
I had a dream
They were playing guitars
And getting loud
And they spilled beer on Jesus

[Chorus]
I save cigarette butts for a poor girl
Across town
I save cigarette butts for a poor girl
Across town

[Verse 2]
I spent a lot of money at the pizza shop
Just to watch the waitress walk
Back and forth
I thought I'd give her one more chance
Went over to see her at her house
There I walked in, there was her and him
They were having a wrestling match
[Chorus]
I save cigarette butts for a poor girl
Across town
I save cigarette butts for a poor girl
Across town

[Outro]
I save cigarette butts for a poor girl
I save cigarette for a poor girl
I save cigarette butts for a poor girl
Across town
