Story Behind The Song

I was trying to quit smoking, still do now and then, quit that is.

Song Description

Long frustration of trying to kick a bad habit

Lyrics

I?ve been taking baby steps
For years gone by
Trying to break away from that nasty thing
It don?t matter why
But I?ll tell you what, the door is never shut
And everything?s been bringing me down
I?m no fun to be around

There?s No Mercy
Waiting for the smoke to clear

Well I might live to be a hundred and two
With nothing much to do
?cept sit around thinking how life might have been
Had I never met you
There?s No Mercy getting over it
No Mercy, it?s just the same old bit
Waiting for the smoke to clear

In just a minute I?m about to lose control
In just a minute I?ll be fine
While my body?s getting over you
I?m slowly losing my mind

I?ve been taking baby steps
For so long now
Trying to break away from that nasty thing
I?m still learning how
But I?ll tell you what
The door is never shut
But I just might make it this time
This ain?t no nursery rhyme
There?s No Mercy
Waiting for the smoke to clear
Ya, ya?.
