Alcohol and Pills
de Todd Snider
Hank Williams, he came up, from Montgomery
With a heart full of hard-luck country songs
But Nashville, Tennessee, they didn't Understand him because he did things
Differently then the way they were done
but when he finally made it to the Grand Ole Opry... he made it stand still.
He ended up on alcohol and pills
Evil Presely, he came up from Jackson
With a brand new way of singing
A brand new way of dancing
And even from the waist up, he gave the world
A thrill... he ended up on alcohol and pills
Alcohol and pills
It's a crying shame
you'd think they might have been happy
with the glory and the fame
the fame don't take away the pain
it just pays the bills
and you wind up on alcohol and pills
Janis Joplin, she was a wild and reckless
Then there was Gram Parsons, then there was Jimmy Hendrix.
The story just goes on and on.
I guess it always will... they ened up on Alcohol and pills
Alcohol and pills
It's a crying shame
You'd think they might have been happy
With the glory and the fame
The fame don't take away the pain
It just pays hte bills
And you wind up on alchol and pills
Sometimes somebody won't wake up one day
Sometimes it's a heart attack
Sometimes, they won't say
When they pulled poor old Hank Williams
Out of that Cadillac Coupe de Ville
He ended up on alcohol and pills
Alcohol and pills
It's a crying shame
You'd think they might have been happy
With the glory and the fame
The fame don't take away
It just pays the bills
And you wind up on alcohol and pills
... on alcohol and pills
