[Verse 1]

Prayin' on the north wind to lead me to my door

Thumbing through my greenbacks, swearin' I made more

Some cruel nightly cycle leaves me cryin' on a motel floor

But I don't cry for you anymore

[Verse 2]

For many a dark hour, I look up to the sky

Many unkind thoughts are laid on my hazy eyes

Sometimes I get to thinkin', "why wait around to die?"

But I don't think of you, so I get by

[Chorus]

Every day it seems

My whole damn life's just a codeine dream

I don't dream of you

Anymore

[Verse 3]

The sun is gone away now, green grass turns to brown

Every December, it 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

[Chorus]

Every day it seems

My whole damn life's just a codeine dream

I don't dream of you

Anymore
