I've got some pills in my pocket that I never take
I live with the pain
Pain and I relate
I make a noise every time I get up
It's the pain you see and it won't shut up
I'm used to it now
It's been around a long time
Don't get me wrong it's no friend of mine
It just hangs around messing with my mind
Reminding me of my pills every time

I've got some pills in my pocket that I never take
I think if I did it would be a grave mistake
I'd probably pop them all the time
The pain would go away but I'd be out of my mind
I can take it
I've taken it this long
It hurts just to sing this song
I toss and turn for a comfortable spot
It's hard to sleep when the pain won't stop
It just hangs around messing with my mind
Reminding me of my pills every time

I've got some pills in my pocket that I never take
I sometimes pull them out and think I need a taste
I put them right back
I do it every time
It's just the pain messing with my mind
I've got reds and yellows and some are blue
I'm afraid of all the damage they may do
So they rest in my pocket day afer day
and every day that pain wants to play
It just hangs around messing with my mind
Reminding me of my pills every time

I've got some pills in my pocket that I never take
One day I may breakdown and make that mistake
and pop a pill so the pain may break
I've heard they work best if you take them with a beer
You think I'm a fool?
I'd never do that here
Okay, maybe over there
The pills are free with medicare
I'm just kidding I'd never do that no way
My pills are in my pocket and there they'll stay
The pain hangs around messing with my mind
Reminding me of my pills every time
