Methamphetamine Lyrics by Son Volt

The Search

2007

I took the night shift
Another nickel on the dime
To try to play it straight
And make it different this time
Still waiting to meet the next ex-wife

It's either watching these
Gauges for Monsanto
Or a barback job for the casino
The Army won't want me
After what this body's been through

Would you take me back North Carolina?
Would you take me back to Arkansas?
Blissful days still there to remember
Methamphetamine was the final straw

I had a killer job in a backup band
Playing guitar in Branson
Two shows a night brought the money
To chase down sin

Now it's another weekend
I'm lonely at home
Late night TV; evangelist drone
I'm healthy now but I really don't know
If I'll ever be free

Would you take me back North Carolina?
Would you take me back Arkansas?
Blissful days still there to remember
Methamphetamine was the final straw

Would you take me back North Carolina?
Would you take me back Arkansas?
Blissful days still there to remember
Methamphetamine was the final straw
