oxycontin

you're shaving your legs in my bathroom

so you can wear your blue summer dress

to drive me a mile to the courthouse

so i can get my license back

take it step by step

read it line by line

sleep well once in a while

take your oxycontin

it'll make you smile

come with me

i will lead you quietly out

your daughter's in a play about the circus

she catches your eye in the crowd

and i catch a tear down your make-up

when the children come out for a bow

later that night on the front porch

after you put her in the bed

i catch something there in your laughing

i ain't heard since i was a kid

take it step by step

read it line by line

sleep well once in a while

take your oxycontin

it'll fuck you up

come with me and i will lead you quietly on

take it step by step

read it line by line

sleep well once in a while

take your oxycontin

it'll fix your smile

come with me and i'll let you quietly drive
