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
