CAPO 2

Intro:
Took the night shift
Another nickel on the dime
Try to play it straight 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
Break [I just play the intro again here]
I had a killer job in a backup band
Playing guitar in Branson
Two shows a night brough the money to chase down sin
Now it's another weekend 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
Enjoy!
