When Davey dropped dead the papers said he was a football hero
Kids all cried and the rumors died and before he was in the ground
Jimmy was up on the strip job, s**ing another one down ???
Went across town to Dr. Brown beggin' for some pain pills Chorus:
Pain pills, a little bit of hurt is surely gonna k** a lot of good people in these here hills
Lord, won't you save us from these old pain pills When Hazel Jean died, her mother tried to say it was pneumonia
The minister's wife told a bold-faced lie to protect her daughter's name
When half of the congregation was hooked on the very same thing When Tommy caught wind that his Uncle Tim was about to die from cancer
When to his house and broke the door down tryin' to steal some pain pills Chorus The girl next door's on the bathroom floor
Thinkin' 'bout taking her a little bit more
Ain't never been this bad before Enough of these pain pills, pain pills
A little bit of hurt is surely gonna k** a lot of good people
In these here hills
Oh Lord, won't you save us from these old pain pills
