Innocence and Pills

[Verse 1]

I was halfway home when I woke up and hit it again

Oh, and I was halfway prone to turn around and head back in

Oh, the bottle halfway gone when I tip it again

I see my soul at the bottom of the bottle of sin

I'm so alone even before you're gone, oh

[Chorus]

As I rolled to the desert where the coyotes kill

And my cold blood boils as hot as my heart feels

I never met the Devil til' the morning chills

When I got too drunk on innocence and pills

[Verse 2]

When I woke up alone, I was sick and it was cold

Oh, so I'm walking for miles down the lost and dead end road

Oh, the motel lobby, ain't nobody home, there ain't dial tone

They're on the telephone, I feel stoned

Oh, it's a long ride home, oh

[Chorus]

So I rolled to the desert where the coyotes kill

And my cold blood boils as hot as my heart feels

I never met the Devil til' the morning chills

When I got too drunk on innocence and pills

Innocence and pills

[Refrain]

I was halfway home when I woke up and hit it again

Oh, and I was halfway prone to turn around and head back in

Oh, the bottle halfway gone, I tip it again

I see my soul at the bottom of the bottle of sin

I'm so alone, so alone

[Chorus]

As I rolled to the desert where the coyotes kill

And my cold blood boils as hot as my heart feels

I never met the Devil til' the morning chills

When I got too drunk on innocence and--

Rolled to the desert where the coyotes kill

And my cold blood boils as hot as my heart feels

I never met the Devil til' the morning chills

When I got too drunk on innocence and pills

[Outro]

Take me back, oh, oh, oh

Take me back oh, whoa

It's a long ride home

It's a long ride home, oh

Oh, take me back home

It's a long ride home
