lyrics

Doper couple from Pasadena
Left California so they could get cleaner
Drove across country in wagon
He couldn't kick it he was chasing the dragon

And once she got sick of his lying
She through him out and he started crying
He stayed behind on the streets of Ohio
She made it home to the folks in Rhode Island

That's how it goes
First you tell a lie and later on your nose grows
I know it's quite sad
But she still goes by and visits him in rehab
And although he says right quickly
She really feels his chances are more 50/50
I hope he pulls through
It doesn't matter anyway because she's already started anew

(guitar solo)

That's how it goes
First you tell a lie and later on your nose grows
I know it's quite sad
But she still goes by and visits him in rehab
And although he says right quickly
She really feels his chances are more 50/50
I sure hope he pulls through
It doesn't matter anyway because she's already started anew
