Little Brown Pill

Intro

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Verse 1

When I was seventeen, momma told me once or twice

"Stay away from them pills, son, they'll only ruin your life"

Guess I didn't ever think they'd ever come for me

Now I'm staring at a bottle like it's my last glass of water in a drought, honey

Pre-Chorus

I don't know why they say the devil only comes as an Angel

'Cause, damn, he looks good in a baggy blue jean

Yeah, they look so innocent at first

But if you take one, you're gonna need a whole lot more

A whole lot more

Chorus

It's that white powder, that little brown pill

It's that green leaf, that one in the pill

That one in the pill, that one in the pill

It's a blue haze, it's a red light

It's a black out, it's a long night

It's "don't do drugs, son," "here's one for the road"

It's an open door, it's a closed casket

It's a quick fix, it's a bad habit

It's an old song and a young man's tragedy

It's a little bit of heaven, then a whole lot of hell

It's that white powder, that little brown pill

Hook

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Verse 2

Now that I'm twenty-three, I've been stuck inside this town

Like a bottle up on a shelf that nobody wants around

It felt like a game that I was never gonna win

It started with one and then it turned into ten

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I know everybody says, "Just put it down, you'll get better"

Well, it's easy to say when you're not standing where I am

And I ain't afraid to say I need help, yeah, sometimes I need a hand

But you don't know 'til you're caught up in that

Chorus

It's that white powder, that little brown pill

It's that green leaf, that one in the pill

That one in the pill, that one in the pill

It's a blue haze, it's a red light

It's a black out, it's a long night

It's "don't do drugs, son," "here's one for the road"

It's an open door, it's a closed casket

It's a quick fix, it's a bad habit

It's an old song and a young man's tragedy

It's a little bit of heaven, then a whole lot of hell

It's that white powder, that little brown pill

Bridge

It's the way that she looks in the moonlight (Oh-oh)

It's the way that it feels in the nighttime (Oh-oh)

It's a little bit of heaven, then a whole lot of hell

Chorus

It's that white powder, that little brown pill

It's that green leaf, that one in the pill

That one in the pill, that one in the pill

It's a blue haze, it's a red light

It's a black out, it's a long night

It's "don't do drugs, son," "here's one for the road"

It's an open door, it's a closed casket

It's a quick fix, it's a bad habit

It's an old song and a young man's tragedy

It's a little bit of heaven, then a whole lot of hell

It's that white powder, that little brown pill

Outro

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
