In the wake of her announcement this week that she’d be releasing a new song called “Smoke Break“, much to everyone’s excitement, Carrie Underwood did just that, and also gave us a look at the cover art for her brand new album, Storyteller, to be released in September.

Smoke Break” is an anthem for the working class. Most people can relate to working hard every day to pay the bills and Carrie recognizes that. Her song pays tribute to these folks, especially the hard-working single moms and the men who break their backs trying to make it to the top, while having absolutely nothing handed to them in the process.

Clad in jeans shorts and brown, fringe boots, Carrie walks across the Mojave Desert singing her song while we get front row seats to those who struggle with the every day grind, but soldier through it because it has to be done. After all is said and done, these working class people need their “smoke break”.

She said, “I don’t drink”
“But sometimes I need a stiff drink”
“Sipping from a high, full glass”
“Let the world fade away”
She said, “I don’t smoke”
“But sometimes I need a long drag”
“Yeah, I know it might sound bad”
“But sometimes I need a smoke break”

Carrie’s highly relatable new tune is bound to be a hit! She sure knows what registers with her audience, and adds a sultry, country vibe to it to kick it up a notch. It’s a definite must-see, folks.

SMOKE BREAK LYRICS

She’s a small-town, hard-working woman just trying to make a living
Working three jobs, feeding four little mouths in a run-down kitchen
When you never taking nothing and doing nothing but giving
It’s hard to be a good wife and a good mom and a good Christian

She said, “I don’t drink”
“But sometimes I need a stiff drink”
“Sipping from a high, full glass”
“Let the world fade away”
She said, “I don’t smoke”
“But sometimes I need a long drag”
“Yeah, I know it might sound bad”
“But sometimes I need a smoke break”

He’s a big-city, hard-working man just trying to climb the ladder
First generation to go to college instead of driving a tractor
Never had nothing handed to him on a silver platter
It’s hard to be a good man, good son, do something good that matters

He said, “I don’t drink”
“But sometimes I wanna pop that top”
“Take a swig and make the world stop”
“And watch it fade away”
He said, “I don’t smoke”
“But sometimes I wanna light it up”
“Yeah, when things get tough”
“Sometimes I need a smoke break, yeah”

So here’s to you and here’s to when the day gets long
Go ahead, I understand if you wanna take a load off

I don’t drink
But sometimes I need a stiff drink
Sipping from a high, full glass
Let the world fade away
Yeah, and I don’t smoke
But sometimes I need a long drag
Yeah, I know it might sound bad
But sometimes I need a, sometimes I need a

When the day gets long
When the work’s all done
When the sun sets
When you need to forget
Grab that cup, mmm
Fill it up
Sip it slow
And let it all go
