Cod'ine
And my belly is craving
I got a shakin' in my head
Feel like I'm dyin' and I wish I was dead
If I lived till tomorrow that'll be a long time
But I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on cod'ine
And it's real
And it's real, one more time
Well, when I was a young girl I learned not to care
About whiskey and from it I often did swear
My mother and father said whiskey's a curse
But the fate of their baby was a many times worse
And it's real
And it's real, one more time
Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns
Stay away from the men pushin' the cod'ine around
Stay away from the stores where the remedy is fine
For better your pain than be caught on cod'ine
And it's real, and 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 you'll live off your days as a slave to cod'ine
And it's real
And it's real, one more time
But if I die tomorrow, still one thing I've done
I'd heeded the warning that I got when I was young
My one satisfaction, it comes when I think
That I'm living my life without bendin' to drink
And it's real
And it's real, one more time
And my belly is craving, I got a shaking in my head
I feel like I'm dyin' and I wish I was dead
If I live till tomorrow that'll be a long time
For I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll die on cod'ine
And it's real
And it's real, one more time
I got a shakin' in my head
Feel like I'm dyin' and I wish I was dead
If I lived till tomorrow that'll be a long time
But I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on cod'ine
And it's real
And it's real, one more time
Well, when I was a young girl I learned not to care
About whiskey and from it I often did swear
My mother and father said whiskey's a curse
But the fate of their baby was a many times worse
And it's real
And it's real, one more time
Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns
Stay away from the men pushin' the cod'ine around
Stay away from the stores where the remedy is fine
For better your pain than be caught on cod'ine
And it's real, and 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 you'll live off your days as a slave to cod'ine
And it's real
And it's real, one more time
But if I die tomorrow, still one thing I've done
I'd heeded the warning that I got when I was young
My one satisfaction, it comes when I think
That I'm living my life without bendin' to drink
And it's real
And it's real, one more time
And my belly is craving, I got a shaking in my head
I feel like I'm dyin' and I wish I was dead
If I live till tomorrow that'll be a long time
For I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll die on cod'ine
And it's real
And it's real, one more time
