Submitted by: Josh & Kendall Richards
[Capo 2]
Intro: G  
GMama got dEmepressed, daddy was a-dyin' so the doctor gave her Gsomethin' to help her with her crying
then she couldn't Emsleep, so he gave her somethin' else now there is yellow, red and Gpink on her bathroom shelf
Says if one won't Cwork, then another one Emwill
If you got a little ChurtD, you take a little Gpill
That fellow down the Emroad that walks with a limp, he's a decorated Gsoldier and a pain pill pimp
got a loaded Emgun and an old pit bull, a black CadillaGc with a whole trunk full
Says if one won't Cwork, then another one Emwill
If you got a little ChurtD, you take a little Gpill
Lay it on your Bmtongue, ain't a Cnerve that can't be numbed 
Ain't a Gbuzz that you can't Bmbuy, ain't a lCow you can't make high
till it wears Coff, like it always Emwill and when it Cdoes Dyou take a little pGill
whoa-whoa-Emwhoooa, whoa-whoa-Gwhoooa
whoa-whoa-Emwhoooa, whoa-whoa-Gwhoooa
You don't need a Emneedle, you don't need a vein, don't burn like Gwhisky or cost like cocaine 
Ever lose a lEmover? Or wanna lose some weight? What you can't Gcure, you can medicate
If one won't Cwork, then another one Emwill
If you got a little ChurtD, you take a little Gpill
Lay it on your Bmtongue, ain't a Cnerve that can't be numbed 
Ain't a Gbuzz that you can't Bmbuy, ain't a Clow you can't make high
till it wears Coff, like it always Emwill and when it CdoesD, you take a little Gpill
whoa-whoa-Emwhoooa, whoa-whoa-Gwhoooa
whoa-whoa-Emwhoooa, whoa-whoa-Gwhoooa
