Lyrics

[Verse]
Down on the corner where the shadows grow,
I'm slippin' lean, watchin' time move slow.
Xanax in my pocket, it's a long, dark road,
Tryin' to find a path where there's no heavy load.

[Verse]
Mama tried to warn me 'bout the devil's schemes,
But here I am drowned in syrup and broken dreams.
Lost in a haze, with my soul on lease,
Searchin' for solace that never finds peace.

[Chorus]
Bitter sweet and dirty, this is the life I lead,
Livin' slow but runnin' wild, chasing empty creed.
Every night's a gamble, every day's a fight,
In this cruel business, there's no wrong or right.

[Verse]
Got folks in the town who need their nightly fix,
I'm the midnight doctor with the troubled mix.
Countin' up the cash, feel the chill in my bones,
Each deal just another weight on my soul alone.

[Bridge]
Maybe one day I'll find a door to escape,
But tonight I'm tangled in my own red tape.
Pour another cup, pop a pill to the beat,
In this life of sin, there's no retreat.

[Chorus]
Bitter sweet and dirty, this is the life I lead,
Livin' slow but runnin' wild, chasing empty creed.
Every night's a gamble, every day's a fight,
In this cruel business, there's no wrong or right.
