[Verse 1] I feel so low, son Since I lost my someone With this government paycheck I'm gonna buy a new one And sit right here With my lukewarm beer Just-a licking my wounds From ear to ear [Verse 2] So the old folklore From the year before Keeps-a finding my street Climbing in my back seat So what if I lay Down my head 'til Monday Just-a living my most From coast to coast [Chorus:] Oh, my poison Keeps trouble busy grinning from ear to ear Oh, I'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up here Oh, my poison (Oh, my poison) [Verse 3] So the sun sets slow On the musty water So buy some real estate And gather some daughters Teach them all about mercy Keep them young and thirsty Love sure is blind From time to time [Chorus:] Oh, my poison Keeps trouble busy grinning from ear to ear Yeah, I'd like to stick around but I sure can't wake up here Oh, my poison Oh, my poison Oh, my poison Yeah, oh, my poison Oh, my poison
