Alcohol & Pills

Hank Williams, he came up from Montgomery
 With a heartful of broken country songs
 Nashville Tennessee didn't really understand him
 Cause he did things differently than the way that they were done
 When he finally made it to the Grand Ol Opry he made it stand still
 He ended up on alcohol and pills
 Elvis Presley, he came up from Jackson
 With a brand new way of singin' and a brand new way of dancin'
 And even from the waist up Lord he gave the world a thrill
 He ended up on alcohol and pills
 Alcohol and pills, is a cryin' shame
 You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame
 But fame doesnt take away the pain, it only pays the bills
 And you wind up on alcohol and pills
 Janis Joplin, she was wild and reckless
 Then there was Graham Parsons, Lord, and then there was Jimmy Hendrix
 The story just goes on and on and I guess it always will
 They ended up on alcohol and pills
 Chorus
 Sometimes somebody just doesn't wake up one day
 Sometimes it's a heart attack, sometimes they just don't say
 They pulled poor old Hank Wlliams out of a Cadillac CoupeDeVille
 He ended up on alcohol and pills
 Chorus
