[Intro]
N.C.
I feel so low, son
since I lost my someone
with this government paycheck
I’m gonna buy a new one
and sit right here
with my lukewarm beer
just a-licking my wounds
from ear to ear
so the old folkElore
from the year before
keeps a-finding Bmy street
climbing in my Ebackseat
so what if EI lay
down my head till Monday
just a-living my Bmost
from coast to Ecoast
oh, my pAoison
keeps trouble busy grinning from ear to earE  
Boh, I'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up Ahere
oh, my poisoEn, oh
oh, my poison, oh
so the sun sets Eslow
on the musty water
so buy some Breal estate
and gather some Edaughters
teach 'em all about Emercy
keep 'em young and thirsty
love sure is Bblind
from time to Etime
oh, my pAoison
keeps trouble busy grinning from ear to earE  
BI'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up hereA  
oh, my poisoEn
oh, my poisoEn
Yeah, oh, Emy poison
oh, my poisoEn

[Intro]

N.C.

I feel so low, son

since I lost my someone

with this government paycheck

I’m gonna buy a new one

and sit right here

with my lukewarm beer

just a-licking my wounds

from ear to ear

so the old folklore

from the year before

keeps a-finding my street

climbing in my backseat

so what if I lay

down my head till Monday

just a-living my most

from coast to coast

oh, my poison

keeps trouble busy grinning from ear to ear

B A

oh, I'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up here

oh, my poison, oh

so the sun sets slow

on the musty water

so buy some real estate

and gather some daughters

teach 'em all about mercy

keep 'em young and thirsty

love sure is blind

from time to time

oh, my poison

keeps trouble busy grinning from ear to ear

B A

I'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up here

oh, my poison

Yeah, oh, my poison

oh, my poison
