Codeine - The Barracudas

God is craving my belly I got shakin' in my head

I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead

If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time

For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine

An' it's real an' it's real one more time

When I was a young man I learned not to care

Wild whiskey confronted I often did swear

My mother and father said whiskey is a curse

But the fate of their baby is many times worse

An' it's real an' it's real one more time

Stay away from the cities stay away from the towns

Stay away from the men pushin' the codine around

Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found

I will live a few days as a slave to codine

An' it's real an' it's real one more time

An' it's real an' it's real one more time

An' it's real an' it's real one more time
