Lyrics:

We'll take the copper from the work site

Meet me here at midnight

They ain't got a camera or a guard

Write my own prescription

If I can't get a fix, son

shit's about to get real hard

Molly don't believe me

Says she's gonna leave me

The kids won't even know my name

Put a gallon in the stepside

With a little help

by morning I won't feel no pain

Never thought I'd wind up

this far behind

Just a couple years back we had it made

I was emptying my bladder

on a 20-foot ladder

Should have climbed down and found myself some shade

The doctor took a quick look

I got out the checkbook

and left with a pocket full of pills

Now my back's still hurting

and I'm too weak for working

and I can't keep up with all the bills

She used to wake me up with coffee every morning

and I'd hear her homemade house shoes slide across the floor

She used to make me feel like the King of Oklahoma

but nothing makes me feel like much of nothing anymore

I was all set up to do it

but some bastard beat me to it

Ain't a copper pipe left on the lot

Got a loan out on the truck

but I'm running out of luck

and the title is the only thing I've got

Molly's gonna leave me

Says she don't believe me

I got nothing left to lie about

She's going back to Bixby

Tired of trying to fix me

Says I got some shit to figure out

She used to wake me up with coffee every morning

and I'd hear her homemade house shoes slide across the floor

She used to make me feel like the King of Oklahoma

but nothing makes me feel like much of nothing anymore

She used to wake me up with coffee every morning

I'd act like I was sleeping til she walked back through the door

She used to make me feel like the King of Oklahoma

but nothing makes me feel like much of nothing anymore
