Codeine
If there's one thing I can't stand-
It's this bar and this cover band...
Tryin' to fake their way through-
Castles Made of Sand...
That's one thing I can't stand.
If there's one thing I can't take-
It's the sound that a woman makes...
About five seconds after her heart begins to break-
That's one thing I can't take.
She should be home right now-
But she ain't.
I should be gone by now-
But I can't.
'Cause one of my friends...
Has taken her in-
And given her codeine. (x2)
Them eyes as big as stars-
When I saw you behind the bar.
Guess that's the way to keep on smilin' where you are...
But girl, them eyes was big as stars.
It sounds funny when you say my name-
It's like you're chewin' on a foreign thing.
You won't get to sleep 'til dawn if it don't rain...
You sound so funny when you say my name.

You oughta come home tonight-
But you won't.
Wish we knew how to fight-
But we don't.
And one of your friends...
Has taken you in-
And given you codeine. (x2)
Darlin', I'm not one to judge-
But if I was, then I'd say-
You don't look so good.
Got no answers of my own-
With you gone-
This place looks bigger...
Than it should.
If there's two things that I hate-
It's havin' to cook, and tryin' to date...
Bust your ass all day to play hurry up and wait-
That's a few things that I hate.
If I call, and I ain't drunk-
This old boat would still be sunk...
'Cause one of my friends-
Has taken her in...
And given her codeine. (x6)
