Codeine

My belly is cravin'
Got a shakin' in my head
I'm feelin' like I'm dying and I wish I was dead
If I live 'til tomorrow
That'd be a long time
But I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll rise on codeine
And it's real
Lord it's real
One more time

Well when I was a young girl
I learned not to care
Off whiskey and frolic
I often did swear
My mother and father said whiskey's a curse
But the fate of their baby was many times worse
And it's real
Lord it's real
One more time

Stay away from the city
Stay away from the town
Stay away from the man pushin' codeine around
Stay away from the stores where the remedy is fine
For better your pain than be caught on codeine
And it's real
Lord it's real
One more time

And it's real
Lord it's real
One more time

You'll forget you're a woman
You'll forget about men
Try it just once and you'll try it again
You'll forget about life
You'll forget about time
And live all your days a slave to codeine
And it's real
Lord it's real
One more time
And it's real
Lord it's real
One more time
