When I hung up the phone I felt waves of relief

Christmas morning and my best gift was for free

The love that you gave was in selfish need

Unplugging my phone quickly cured the disease



It was good for my health to rid myself of doubt

Always wondering when I would find my way out

When I said "I'm gone" I was put at ease

When you said "Don't go" you didn't say please



Kicking the habit and I'm not going back

This is the last time that we'll talk about that

Kicking the habit has made me complete

My success encourages you to compete



The doorbell rings and I pretend I'm not home

I see you driving now but never alone

Your trying to prove that you can be happy

The country music you love will always be crappy



Kicking the habit and I'm not going back

This is the last time that we'll talk about that

Kicking the habit has made me complete

My success encourages you to compete
