There was a gunfight in the diner last night And I left with a little more money than when I walked in I really ought to get back home to my sweet Suzanne Before I spend it all forgetting my sins Heard my name on the radio this morning Guess the man last night he didn't live And I really would've sworn that I missed him Guess I can't hang with my old shaking hands Cause I was high on something And I was going faster than a train She was saying I love you I was leaving again Cause I was high on something Stole a truck from this woman outside of Tulsa She said I've got kids I said I don't give a damn And I drove all night across the blacktop and I was raging To them prairie fields turned to desert sand I was high on something I was going faster than a train She was saying I love you I was leaving again Till there's nothing left just codeine Till there's nothing left just codeine Till there's nothing left just codeine I was high on something
