My belly is cravin'
I got a shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dying, and I wish I was dead
If I live 'til tomorrow, it'll be a long time
And I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll rise on cod'ine
And it's real, and it's real, one more time (one more time)
When I was a young boy, I learned not to care
About whiskey, and from it, I often did, often did swear
My mother and my father said that whiskey, whiskey's a curse
But the fate of their baby bou was many times worse
And it's real, and it's real, one more time (one more time)
Stay away from the cities boy; stay away from the towns
(Stay away from the cities boy; stay away from the towns)
Stay away from the man pushin' codeine around
Stay away from the stores and the remedy is fine
For better your pain than be caught on cod'ine
And it's reel, and it's real, one more time (one more time)
You'll forget about your woman, you'll forget about your man
And if you try it just once, trust me darling, you'll try it again
You'll forget about your life, you'll forget about forget about time
Live the rest of your days as a slave, a slave to cod'ine
And it's real, and it's real, one more time
(And it's real, and it's real, one more time)
But, if I die tomorrow, there's still one thing I've done
I heeded the warning that I got when I was young
My one satisfaction, it comes when I think
That I'm livin' my life, and I ain't bending
I ain't bending to no drink
And it's real, and it's real, one more time (one more time)
And my belly is cravin', I got a shakin' in my head
And I feel like I'm dying, I wish I was dead
If I live 'til tomorrow, it'll be a long time
Or I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll die on cod'ine
And it's real, and it's real, one more time
Real
One more, one more, one more time
Real
One more,
Yeah, one more time
One more time
One more
