[Intro]
Every time you come to town
We wind up doin' the same thing
Gettin' high and runnin' around
The blame you tend on placing

[Verse 1]
I remember wakin' up with you
I wish you'd leave me layin'
Prayin' God'll get us through
The bills we ain't been payin'
I hear a lot of people talk about you
I can't hear what they're sayin'
You're not used to stickin' around
I've grown accustomed to the stayin'

[Verse 2]
Every time you come to town
We wind up doin' the same thing
Gettin' high and runnin' around
The blame you tend on placing
And are you happy now, Anita
Now that you're finally free?
When you said that you were leavin'
And only comin' back for me
[Chorus]
Cheap booze and codeine pills
Ain't worth all the losin'
Nothin' can come between us
Damn the life worth choosin'
Cheap booze and codeine pills
Ain't worth all the losin'
Nothin' can come between us
Damn the life worth choosin'

[Verse 3]
Daddy says I've lost mind
And my mama, she be grievin'
Your face down in a bathroom stall
With vices planned on keepin'
Are you happy now, Anita
Now that you're finally free?
When you said that you were leavin'
And only comin' back for me

[Chorus]
Cheap booze and codeine pills
Ain't worth all the losin'
Nothin' can come between us
Damn the life worth choosin'
Cheap booze and codeine pills
Ain't worth all the losin'
Nothin' can come between us
Damn the life worth choosin'
[Outro]
Every time you come to town
We wind up doin' the same thing
Gettin' high and running around
The blame you tend on placing
