Methamphetamine Lyrics - Son Volt

I took a night shift, another nickel on the dime 

Try to play it straight and make it different this time 

Still waiting to meet the next ex-wife 

It's either watching these gauges for Monsanto 

Or a bar-back job for the casino 

The Army won't want me after what this body's been through 

Would you take me back North Carolina? 

Would you take me back Arkansas? 

Blissful days still there to remember 

Methamphetamine was the final straw 

I had a killer job in a backup band playin' guitar in Branson 

Two shows a night brought the money to chase down sin 

Now it's another weekend and I'm lonely at home 

Late night TV, evangelist drone 

I'm healthy now but I really don't know if I'll ever be free 

Would you take me back North Carolina? 

Would you take me back Arkansas? 

Blissful days still there to remember 

Methamphetamine was the final straw
