Codeine Pills (Part One)

[Intro]

Every time you come to town

We wind up doin' the same thing

Gettin' high and runnin' around

The blame you tend on placing

[Verse 1]

I remember wakin' up with you

I wish you'd leave me layin'

Prayin' God'll get us through

The bills we ain't been payin'

I hear a lot of people talk about you

I can't hear what they're sayin'

You're not used to stickin' around

I've grown accustomed to the stayin'

[Verse 2]

Every time you come to town

We wind up doin' the same thing

Gettin' high and runnin' around

The blame you tend on placing

And are you happy now, Anita

Now that you're finally free?

When you said that you were leavin'

And only comin' back for me

[Chorus]

Cheap booze and codeine pills

Ain't worth all the losin'

Nothin' can come between us

Damn the life worth choosin'

Cheap booze and codeine pills

Ain't worth all the losin'

Nothin' can come between us

Damn the life worth choosin'

[Verse 3]

Daddy says I've lost mind

And my mama, she be grievin'

Your face down in a bathroom stall

With vices planned on keepin'

Are you happy now, Anita

Now that you're finally free?

When you said that you were leavin'

And only comin' back for me

[Chorus]

Cheap booze and codeine pills

Ain't worth all the losin'

Nothin' can come between us

Damn the life worth choosin'

Cheap booze and codeine pills

Ain't worth all the losin'

Nothin' can come between us

Damn the life worth choosin'

[Outro]

Every time you come to town

We wind up doin' the same thing

Gettin' high and running around

The blame you tend on placing
