Codine - Man

Well my belly is craving, there’s a shakin' in my head

Well I feel like I’m dying, I wish I was dead

If I lived till tomorrow it would be a long time

For I’ll reel and I’ll fall then I’ll rise on codine

When I was a young man I learned not to care

But for whiskey, bourbon, often I did swear

Well my parents they warned me that liquor is a curse

But the fate of their baby is many many times worse

Well it’s real, one more time

Well it’s real, one more time

Stay away from big cities, stay away from the towns

Stay away from the stores where the remedy is so fine

Stay away from those people with dope on their minds

But it’s better to have a raw pain than to be caught on codine

Well it’s real, one more time

Well it’s real, one more time

You forget you are a woman

And you forget all about men

If you try it just once, you want it again

You forget about lovin', you forget about time

You live out your days as a slave to codine

Well it’s real, one more time

Well it’s real, one more time

Well it’s real, one more time
