Pill

Well, 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 45 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 Waking up needin' Chasin' that feelin' The porch light's on, the door's unlocked You could go on home 'fore it gets too dark Your mama's been worried, plum sick about you Daddy don't know how to live without you 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 lot of 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 Your mama's been worried, plum sick about you Daddy don't know how to live without you 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 Waking 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 Your mama's been worried, plum sick about you Daddy don't know how to live without you 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
