Song | Alcohol and Pills |
Artist | Todd Snider |
Album | East Nashville Skyline |
作词 : Eaglesmith | |
Hank Williams, he came up, from Montgomery | |
With a heart full of hard-luck country songs | |
But Nashville, Tennessee, they didn't Understand him because he did things | |
Differently then the way they were done | |
but when he finally made it to the Grand Ole Opry... he made it stand still. | |
He ended up on alcohol and pills | |
Evil Presely, he came up from Jackson | |
With a brand new way of singing | |
A brand new way of dancing | |
And even from the waist up, he gave the world | |
A thrill... he ended up on alcohol and pills | |
Alcohol and pills | |
It's a crying shame | |
you'd think they might have been happy | |
with the glory and the fame | |
the fame don't take away the pain | |
it just pays the bills | |
and you wind up on alcohol and pills | |
Janis Joplin, she was a wild and reckless | |
Then there was Gram Parsons, then there was Jimmy Hendrix. | |
The story just goes on and on. | |
I guess it always will... they ened up on Alcohol and pills | |
Alcohol and pills | |
It's a crying shame | |
You'd think they might have been happy | |
With the glory and the fame | |
The fame don't take away the pain | |
It just pays hte bills | |
And you wind up on alchol and pills | |
Sometimes somebody won't wake up one day | |
Sometimes it's a heart attack | |
Sometimes, they won't say | |
When they pulled poor old Hank Williams | |
Out of that Cadillac Coupe de Ville | |
He ended up on alcohol and pills | |
Alcohol and pills | |
It's a crying shame | |
You'd think they might have been happy | |
With the glory and the fame | |
The fame don't take away | |
It just pays the bills | |
And you wind up on alcohol and pills | |
... on alcohol and pills |
