You smoked your cigarette And lost all of your bets Rita You blew it all away With a whiskey on the way Rita Rita I hope someday you finally find your freedom Rita I hope you find a love that never leaves ya Your son went off to war And the others walked out the door Rita You never took the blame You said life is what you make it And I couldn't see it before Rita I hope someday you finally find your freedom Rita I hope you find a love that never leaves ya Rita Rita Rita You don't believe in anything Except the music when you sing, Rita
