Codeine Dream

Prayin' on the north wind

Lead me to my door

Thumbing through my green backs

Swear I made more

Some cruel nightly cycle

Leaves me cryin' on a motel floor

I don't cry for you anymore

For many a dark hour

I look up to the sky

Many unkind thoughts are laid

On my hazy eyes

Sometimes I get to thinkin'

Why wait around to die

But I don't think of you

So I get by

Every day it seems

My whole damn life's just a codeine dream

I don't dream of you anymore

The sun is gone away now

Green grass turns to brown

Every December it gets a little bit harder

To lay that bottle down

It's more than just the weather

That plagues this prairie town

But I won't be seeing you

When I come 'round

Every day it seems

My whole damn life's just a codeine dream

I don't dream of you anymore
