Heroin Addict Sister lyrics

She asked for her mamas bathrobe

And a pot of potato soup

Shes gonna dry out this time if it kills her

She wants the whole family in the loop

She can outsmart death like a stuntman

Shes a cat with 99 lives

Shes my heroin addict sister

And Ive known her all my life

SHES MY HEROIN ADDICT SISTER

AND I HATE TO SEE HER GO

AND I HATE TO SEE HER HOLDIN ON

AT THE END OF THE SAME OLE ROPE

She pushes a tiny needle

Its like the devils DNA

It takes her somewhere shes just gotta go

But cant afford to stay

She stripped for a while in Connecticut

Got married at least 5 times

Every one of them men was crazy about her

So she married a couple of em twice

Shes a certified underwater welder

She can cook, clean, and crochet

She can flash a smile from her sweet weary soul

Thatll melt all your doubts away

SHES MY HEROIN ADDICT SISTER

AND I HATE TO SEE HER GO

AND I HATE TO SEE HER HOLDIN ON

AT THE END OF THE SAME OLE ROPE

Shes high at the homeless shelter

When shes had it out with my niece

She dont notice the holes in her clothes

Or perverted Orlando police

Ive been so mad I wanted to kill her

So worried I had to cry

Such crazy stories I cant help but laugh

So scared of when shes gonna die

She called outside of Atlanta

Been dodging them big ole trucks

Ya know she cleaned up in Tennessee one time before

She just needs a couple hundred bucks

And she just needs to be with us

We all say thank God mama

Aint here to go through it this time

Shes in heaven telling them Macon County cops

Better give her baby a ride

And they got to her just in time

SHES MY HEROINE ADDICT SISTER

AND I HATE TO SEE HER GO

AND I HATE TO SEE HER HOLDIN ON

AT THE END OF THE SAME OLE ROPE

AT THE END OF THE SAME OLE ROPE,

ALWAYS AT THE END OF HER ROPE
