I went back to the corner store to buy another round
found a penny gone and picked it up, but it was faced head-down.
I represent all thats wrong
and i resent the law
cat tail below my rocking chair
i learned to spit before i could crawl.
I think i need a hit of morphine
just enough to ease my troubled mind.
if i die a simple man of patience
lord i'll be fine, yeah, yes i'll be fine.
I went down to the river side to sober up and rest my head
got drunk there and stayed all day, hooking bait without a catch
I never thought much on God before
and i'll be gone before long
I asked him why he went and sent me here
to stink and reek upon all.
They say another drink might kill me
if thats gods will then its my time
if i die a simple man of patience
lord i'll be fine, yeah, yes i'll be fine.
I think i need a hit of morphine
just enough to ease my troubled mind.
