Vodka and Vicodin -Chickenbone Slim-Copyright 2017
Another day another battle lost
barely made it through the holocaust
spilled my blood and faced my fears
I’ve been accused of being insincere
Fare thee well and se la vie
ain’t nobody looking out for me
pick up my body and I limp back home
lay me down my weary bones
Vodka and Vicodin
A little help from my two best friends
numb the pain wash away my sins
with Vodka and Vicodin
I swear I must be on a list
that old Murphy was an optimist
it’s always fall after summertime
luck runs out and so did mine
Got myself into another fix
stood toe to toe and I traded licks
stayed too long I should have cut and run
cause I always lose a little more than I’ve won
Vodka and Vicodin
a little help from my two best friends
numb the pain wash away my sins
with Vodka and Vicodin
Guess I need to take a vacation
change this run of bad luck
get myself some chemical motivation
cause sometimes reality sucks
I wouldn’t tell you how to live your life
everyone does what they think is right
I medicate my blues away
live to fight some other day
I found a couch where I can crash
a D-9 can’t pull it off of my ass
tomorrow I will surely try again
but tonight it’s just Vodka and Vicodin
Vodka and Vicodin
a little help from my two best friends
numb the pain wash away my sins
with Vodka and Vicodin
Vodka and Vicodin
a little help from my two best friends
numb the pain wash away my sins
with Vodka and Vicodin
