LYRICS

Codeine

If there's one thing I can't stand

it's this bar and this cover band

trying to fake their way through 'Castles Made of Sand.'

That's one thing I can't stand.

If there's one thing I can't take

it's the sound that a woman makes

about five seconds after her heart begins to break.

That's one thing I can't take.

She should be home by now but she ain't.

I should've gone by now but I cain't.

One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.

One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.

Them eyes was big as stars

when I saw you behind the bar.

I guess that's the way to keep on smilin' where you are.

But girl them eyes was big as stars.

It sounds funny when you say my name.

It's like you're chewing on a foreign thing

and you won't get to sleep 'till dawn if it don't rain.

It sounds so funny when you say my name.

You oughta come home tonight but you won't.

I wish we knew how to fight but we don't.

One of your friends has taken you in and given you Codeine.

One of your friends has taken you in and given you Codeine.

Darlin' I'm not one to judge

but if I was then I'd say you don't look so good.

Got no answers of my own

but with you gone, this place looks bigger than it should.

If there's two things that I hate

it's having to cook and trying to date.

Busting ass all day to play 'hurry up and wait.'

That's a few things that I hate.

If I call when I ain't drunk

this old boat'll still be sunk

'cause one of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.

One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.

One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.

One of my friends has taken her in and given her Codeine.

i'm so glad we have a genre called "americana" to classify this so it doesn't have to go in the same category as Luke Bryan and Miranda buttfucking Lambert

InexplicablyLeft

... because Dylan never "ripped off" anyone. Excellent observation.

one thing I cant stand, is people that rip off Dylan, or O.C.M.S, claim it as their own, then bitch about other peoples music. Other than that, this rip off of "wagon wheel" isnt bad

Im from NZ and have known and been a fan of Ryan Adams for yeeeaaars I'll admit I didn't know Jason Isbell until I saw him open for Ryan Adams but a lot of people seemed to know him from drive by truckers. Ryan Adams has come to NZ heaps and the last two shows he played here sold out so obviously us kiwis know he is alive

He seems to do this all the time! Whenever I look at his shows, they are all in tiny places. So jealous!

I was lucky enough to discover Jason Isbell when he open for Ryan Adams in a little town in New Zealand, to be honnest wasn't expecting much from a for me an unknown opener in fact I was just gona wait at the bar until he had finished but so glad I ended up discovering such an awesome performer

dbt's still pretty good, but they seriously lost something when he left them. all 3 of isbell's albums have been good, and each one is better than the last. keep at it son.
