Prayin' on the North wind Lead me to my door Thumbing through my green backs Swearing I made more Some cruel nightly cycle Leaves me cryin' on a motel floor But I don't cry for you anymore Many a dark hour I look up to the sky And many unkind thoughts are laid Upon my hazy eyes Sometimes I get to thinkin' Why wait around to die But I don't think of you so I get by And every day it seems My whole damn life's just a codeine dream I don't dream of you anymore The sun is gone away now Green grass turns to brown Every December gets a little bit harder To lay that bottle down It's more than just the weather That plagues this prairie town But I won't be seeing you when I come 'round And every day it seems My whole damn life's just a codeine dream But I don't dream of you anymore
