Nightly Ritual

Some go to the city
and party all night.
Some go out to bars
to be rowdy and fight.

Away from the city.
Away from the bars.
Sitting on my front porch
Just smoking cigars.

I don't sit and think
about what others say.
I relax with a cold drink.
I meditate. I pray.

Away from the city.
Away from the bars.
Sitting on my front porch
Just smoking cigars.

It's my nightly ritual
Each night before bed.
It helps clear the demons
That build in my head.

Away from the city.
Away from the bars.
Sitting on my front porch
Just smoking cigars.
