Methamphetamine - Son Volt

I took a night shift, another nickel and dime

Try to play it straight and make it different this time

Still waiting to meet the next ex-wife

It’s either watching these gauges for Monsanto

Or a bar-back job for the casino

The Army won’t want me after what this body’s been through

Would you take me back North Carolina?

Would you take me back to Arkansas?

Blissful days still there to remember

Methamphetamine was the final straw

I had a killer job in a backup band playin' guitar in Branson

Two shows a night brought the money to chase down sin

Now it’s another weekend, I’m lonely at home

Late night TV, evangelist drone

I’m healthy now, but I really don’t know if I’ll ever be free

Would you take me back North Carolina?

Would you take me back to Arkansas?

Blissful days still there to remember

Methamphetamine was the final straw

Would you take me back North Carolina?

Would you take me back to Arkansas?

Blissful days still there to remember

Methamphetamine was the final straw
