Whiskey and Pills

The sun you know it rots my brain

The way I walk is with a cane

The wind it blows it takes me in

And times it turns it makes me thin

My life is going down the drain

My wife you know she went insane

My kids are messed up in the brain

But when I’m high I feel no shame

When my mind won’t hold still

When I feel the sickening chills

When I feel I’ve had my fill

And every voice I hear is shrill

I calm myself with whiskey and pills

I calm myself with whiskey and pills

The people I know

Their number’s changed

Their view of me is rearranged

The way I see they’re really strange

I’ve got no reason to play their games, yeah

They look at me with eyes a stare

I look at them but I don’t care

I tell them all, what’s fair is fair

And here and there and everywhere

When my mind won’t hold still

When I feel the sickly chills

When I feel I’ve had my fill

And every voice I hear is shrill

I call upon my friends

Whiskey and pills

I call upon my friends

Whiskey and pills

Ooh, ooh, whiskey and pills

When you see me

I’m a-roaming around

My face hits the pavement

Yes I’m on the ground

Turn me around, see if I’m okay

Check out this smile

That’s on my face

I never thought I was gonna die

Until I stared into God’s eyes

He said to me “well, come on son,

better shape up boy, your days are done”

Up my mind I got the chills

Even though he talked with skill

Of the voice I heard the shrill

It was a sound I had to kill

I turned around and grabbed

The whiskey and pills

Can’t say goodbye to

Whiskey and pills

I call upon my friends

Whiskey and pills

I calm myself with

Whiskey and pills
