Pain Pills - Angaleena Presley

When Davey dropped dead the papers said he was a football hero

Kids all cried and the rumors died and before he was in the ground

Jimmy was up on the strip job sucking another one down

When Vicky got out it took about a week to catch the fever

Went across town to Doctor Brown begging for some pain pills

Pain pills, a little bit of hurt is surely gonna kill

A lot of good people in these here hills

Lord won’t you save us from these old pain pills

When Hazel Jean died, her mother tried to say it was pneumonia

The minister’s wife told a bold-faced lie to protect her daughter’s name

When half of the congregation was hooked on the very same thing

When Tommy caught wind that his Uncle Tim was about to die from cancer

Went to his house and broke the door down trying to steal some pain pills

Pain pills, a little bit of hurt is surely gonna kill

A lot of good people in these here hills

Lord won’t you save us from these old pain pills

The girl next door’s on the bathroom floor

Thinking 'bout taking her a little bit more

Ain’t never been this bad before

Had enough of these pain pills, pain pills

A little bit of hurt is surely gonna kill

A lot of good people in these here hills

Oh Lord won’t you save us from these old pain pills
