“Me and Mrs. Morphine
We’re gonna start seeing other people now

We’re gonna start a new life
Someway, somehow
I gotta’ keep ahold of this hope I have found

Me and Mrs. Morphine
We were married by a doctor in company heels
We exchanged our vows with prescription pills
I wonder how many people that “doctor” killed?

Well, I thought I had found to take away
All my pain, night and day
But she burned through all my money, and she
Stole my good health away

But now headed into Nashville, boys
Singing a free-man’s song
About Me and Mrs. Morphine

Well, Me and Mrs. Morphine
We haven’t seen one another
For about six-months time
Of all those years that went by
In spiritual decline
While all my heart did was keep time”
