Lyrics:

(Merle Haggard)

Reasons to quit, smoke and booze don't do me like before
And I'm hardly ever sober and my ole friends
Don't come around much anymore
Reasons to quit the low is always lower than the high
And the reasons to quit don't outnumber all the reasons why.

So we keep smokin and we keep drinkin
Havin fun and never thinkin'
Laughin' at the price tag the we paid
And we keep roarin down the fast lane
Like two young men feelin' no pain
And the reasons for quitins are gettin bigger each day.

Reasons to quit I can't afford the habit all the time
And I need be sober I need write some new songs that will rhyme
Reasons to quit they have no rival reason when your high
And the reasons to quit don't outnumber all the reasons why.

So we keep smokin' and we keep drinkin'
Havin fun and never thinkin'
And laughin' at the price tag that we paid
And we keep roarin' down the fast lane
Like two young men feelin no pain
And the reasons for quitins are gettin bigger each day.

And the reason for quittins are gettin bigger each day...
