| I went back to the corner store
|
| To buy another round
|
| I found a penny gone and picked it up
|
| But it was faced head down
|
| I represent all that’s 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
|
| I 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
|
| But that’s god’s will, yeah, it’s 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
|
| If I die a simple man of patience
|
| Lord, I’ll be fine, yeah… yes, I’ll be fine |
