Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Times, they ain't like nothing they used to be
From rocky mount to Northeast Tennessee
Where the river flows with a dusty, cold disease
And the babies whine 'cause they can't find nothing to eat
[Verse 2]
But, Mama, she ain't hungry no more
She's waitin' for a knock on the trailer door
[Verse 3]
It's gonna rock you like a hurricane
It's gonna rock you till you lose sleep
It's gonna rock you till you're out of a job
It's gonna rock you till you're out on the street
It's gonna rock you till you're down on your knees
It's gonna have you beggin' pretty please
It's gonna rock you like a hurricane
Methamphetamine
[Verse 4]
Don't need no PHD for a hundred dollar card
Just find a crooked cop and that doctor disregard
'Cause when it's either the mine or the Kentucky National Guard
Mmm, I'd rather sell him a line than be dyin' in the coal yard
[Verse 5]
Now, Papa, he ain't hungry no more
He's waitin' for a knock on the trailer door
[Verse 6]
It's gonna rock you like a hurricane
It's gonna rock you till you lose sleep
It's gonna rock you till you're out of a job
It's gonna rock you till you're out on the street
It's gonna rock you till you're down on your knees
It's gonna have you beggin' pretty please
It's gonna rock you like a hurricane
Methamphetamine (Amphetamine)
[Verse 7]
Well, it's a war out there, and it's fought by poor white men
From the Plateau to the falls of the Cumberland
Ya better watch your back, 'cause you just can't trust a friend
Oh, and the method man is gonna get you in the end
[Verse 8]
So listen to the whisperin' wind
It sounds like a big storm rollin' in
[Verse 9]
It's gonna rock you like a hurricane
It's gonna rock you till you lose sleep
It's gonna rock you till you're out of a job
It's gonna rock you till you're out on the street
It's gonna rock you till you're down on your knees
It's gonna have you beggin' pretty please
It's gonna rock you like a hurricane
Methamphetamine
