Corey Smith - Happy Ever After lyrics

Lately, I've been singing the blues For no apparent reason I lay around on the couch Piss and moan draggin' everyone down Maybe, its always been in the bloodstream Maybe daddy was right when he told me Boy, you're just like your momma Keep your head up your a** all the time I feel like a fool Kickin myself black and blue for the choices I've made Down and out Stuck in the mud sinkin' fast gettin' worse everyday Good Lord, won't you throw me a lifeline A ray of hope in the sunshine Won't you help me to find my happy ever after, Amen Lately, I'm taking pills by the handful Doctor told me I need 'em Yea he wrote me a note and Said I hope you have a hell of a time They're too good, fill me up with a warm rush The newspaper don't upset me as much They ain't easy to swallow But it's better than sleepin' all day I'm high as a kite At least for the time been k**in' the pain in my heart Lettin' go Of the guilt and the shame that are tearin' my life apart Good Lord, won't you keep me from crashin' In anyway, shape, form, or fashion Can't you fill my prescription Happy ever after, Amen Have mercy on me Hear my pitiful prayer I need your sympathy Cause it feels like nobody cares about me Since I quit takin' care of myself Oh I'm tired, tired of the struggle And tired of the lies that I've told But I'm scared Scared that my storybook ending will never unfold Good Lord, I'm not much for confession But if you can cure my depression I swear I'll do better Happy ever after, happy ever after Happy ever after, Amen
