Alcohol And Pills Lyrics - Snider Todd

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
