My dear loaded friend Please hear what I’m saying You’re not gonna win At this game you’re playing You’ll go straight to hell If you go anywhere I tell you this Only because I care Slow down friend Your wicked ways you’ve got to mend Hit the brakes my friend You’re headed for a dead end You’re pulling the wool Over everyone’s eyes When you say that you’re clean While you savor your highs Yes, you are slick And I’m just a fool But the Devil Is gonna take you to school You knew you were losing the game you were in When you had to do time for heroin You turned to the Lord and you got salvation But you thought it would be different with some medication After your completion of a famous rehab Your doctor prescribed you some Loritab It helped your anxiety and general pain But the pilot was ignited and now you’re insane You say it’s from a doctor so it doesn’t count You have a real prescription for a medical amount You speak sober lingo but your eyes are pinned You’d suck my cock for some Vicodin Like so many before, you developed "bad back" And to cool it down, took a chunk o’ smack One day at a time you sell your soul Submerged in denial, you’re out of control The real things in your life are up on the shelf Like most of us, I guess, you’ve got to find out for yourself You don’t want a square telling you what to do The rules of the road don’t apply to you But when I look in your eyes, my heart gets the knife Cuz you made a wrong turn on the road of life I’m only trying to flag you down my friend Pull over, turn around, you’re headed for a dead end
