Hard Drugs (Stories)

I had a dream that we were doing hard drugs in a street alley

You were lying dead next to me

You said you had a vision of Vietnam

You saw me jump on a grenade and watched my limbs fall off

But I was in heaven then

I don't care who's asking, you can tell them the truth

I've had a longtime struggle with substance abuse

But I feel fine

And if you really think he loves and you want to go away

Well, I want the best and I'm not here to make you stay

I'm just glad that I found you

And sorry that I couldn't keep you around

We took you to the urgent care

They turned us away

You had an outstanding balance we couldn't pay

You started crying

Then in the pouring rain we found you a hospital bed

And when they picked you up to move you

All the sheets were red

You were a woman then

Well I don't know who's asking, but I'll them the truth

I've had a real hard time losing you

And you can tell me that he loves you, but I know it's a lie

'Cause I've seen how he treats you

And honey I don't want to fight

I'm just glad that I found you

And sorry that I couldn't keep you around

Well I don't care who's asking, you can tell them the truth

I've had a hard time living and I know you'd had a hard time too

And if you want to know who loves you

You can start right here

But don't come home just to leave

'Cause I'm glad that I found you

But I don't want you to leave me hanging around
