Pill Songtext
You got just enough money for a little white Bic and a pack of dirty bird lights
The rest of what mama sent you went to a forty-five-minute high
Always runnin' around up and down town, but you never stop by the house
Rollin' up dollars, livin' on dimes, bouncin' from couch to couch
Wakin' up needin'
Chasin' that feelin'
The porch light's on, the door's unlocked
You could go on home 'fore it gets too dark
The rest of what mama sent you went to a forty-five-minute high
Always runnin' around up and down town, but you never stop by the house
Rollin' up dollars, livin' on dimes, bouncin' from couch to couch
Wakin' up needin'
Chasin' that feelin'
The porch light's on, the door's unlocked
You could go on home 'fore it gets too dark
Where mama's been worried plum sick about ya
Daddy don't know how to live without ya
How long you gonna go on this way?
Losing you the more you take
Yeah, today, they didn't get you, but they might tomorrow
Don't leave us all here with that pill to swallow
Girl, you spend a lotta time in the passenger side of your own red Cavalier
Feelin' like hell, can't look at yourself anymore in the flip-down mirror
Most of your friends done ran off to make something of themselves
But you hung around here runnin' 'round with him and turned into somebody else
Orange bottle with the white cap
Even though you know that
The porch light's on, the door's unlocked
You could go on home 'fore it gets too dark
Where mama's been worried plum sick about ya
Daddy don't know how to live without ya
How long you gonna go on this way? Losing you the more you take
Yeah, today, they didn't get you, but they might tomorrow
Don't leave us all here with that pill to swallow
Wakin' up needin'
Still chasin' that feelin'
The porch light's on, the door's unlocked
You could go on home 'fore it gets too dark
Where mama's been worried plum sick about ya
Daddy don't know how to live without ya
How long you gonna go on this way?
Losing you the more you take
Yeah, today, they didn't get you, but they might tomorrow
Yeah, today, they didn't get you, but they might tomorrow
Don't leave us all here with that pill
To swallow
Daddy don't know how to live without ya
How long you gonna go on this way?
Losing you the more you take
Yeah, today, they didn't get you, but they might tomorrow
Don't leave us all here with that pill to swallow
Girl, you spend a lotta time in the passenger side of your own red Cavalier
Feelin' like hell, can't look at yourself anymore in the flip-down mirror
Most of your friends done ran off to make something of themselves
But you hung around here runnin' 'round with him and turned into somebody else
Orange bottle with the white cap
Even though you know that
The porch light's on, the door's unlocked
You could go on home 'fore it gets too dark
Where mama's been worried plum sick about ya
Daddy don't know how to live without ya
How long you gonna go on this way? Losing you the more you take
Yeah, today, they didn't get you, but they might tomorrow
Don't leave us all here with that pill to swallow
Wakin' up needin'
Still chasin' that feelin'
The porch light's on, the door's unlocked
You could go on home 'fore it gets too dark
Where mama's been worried plum sick about ya
Daddy don't know how to live without ya
How long you gonna go on this way?
Losing you the more you take
Yeah, today, they didn't get you, but they might tomorrow
Yeah, today, they didn't get you, but they might tomorrow
Don't leave us all here with that pill
To swallow
