Little White Helpers

Verse 1

Doc wrote a script on a Tuesday noon

I filled it twice by the afternoon

Little white helpers for my aching back

Now I'm countin them bottles in a paper sack

My cousin brought a jar of homegrown green

We smoked it slow on the porch swing

Then mama hollered supper so we shuffled inside

With a pocket full of trouble and a glassy-eyed smile

Chorus

Oh them pain pills keep me singin

Pain pills keep me high

Pain pills keep me pickin

Till the day I die

(Pick it son)

Verse 2

Grandpa taught me how to tend a row

Water it daily watch it grow

He never said a word about what we'd sell

Just winked and said the market's doin well

Neighbor lady knocked around a quarter past nine

Wanted somethin sweet and she paid in kind

I said ma'am I only deal in green and white

She said honey that's exactly what I like

Chorus

Oh them pain pills keep me singin

Pain pills keep me high

Pain pills keep me pickin

Till the day I die

(One more time)

Bridge

I ain't a doctor I ain't a saint

I'm just a fella with a heavy complaint

Cookin and growin and smokin and such

Mama always said I had a gentle touch

Chorus

Oh them pain pills keep me singin

Pain pills keep me high

Pain pills keep me pickin

Till the day I die

Outro

Mmm hmm

Till the day I die
