[Verse 1]
My belly is a-cravin', I got a shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dying, and I wish I was dead
If I live 'til tomorrow, that'll be a long time
But I'll real and I'll fall and I'll rise on codeine
And it's real babe, and it's real, one more time

[Verse 2]
Well, when I was a young man, I learned not to care
All the whiskey, and cocaine I often did swear
My mother and father said, whiskey's a curse
But the fate of their baby was many times worse
And it's real babe, and it's real, one more time

[Verse 3]
Stay away from thе cities; stay away from the town
Stay away from the man pushin' codеine around
My one satisfaction, it comes when I think
That I'm livin' my life without bendin' to drink
And it's real babe, and it's real, one more time

[Verse 4]
And my belly is cravin', I got a shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dying, and I wish I was dead
If I live 'til tomorrow, that'll be a long time
But I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll rise on co'dine
I'll reel and I'll fall and I'll rise on co'dine
And it's real babe, and it's real, one more time
