Lyrics

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
