Made Any Difference

So I'm at my bar
I just overheard

that another guy
in the past few months

and this is grapevine
but I needed to see him

he went out for a smoke
I walked outside

I reached my hand out
he offered me a new one

then holding his smoke
I spoke of his wife

and I don't want to
but we care for him

he said I was right
then he saw his smoke

handed me the smoke

I stood there a while
wondering if I

my favorite hang-out
from people talking

who's always here
has had a few strokes

I just heard snippets
put in my two cents

and even though I don't
after he lit up

toward his smoke
but... I wanted his

I told him I heard
asked about his kids

get on a high horse
we want him happy

he'll take some time off
said that he should quit

and then walked away

sucking nicotine
made any difference
