We'll take the copper from the work site

Meet me there at midnight

They ain't got a camera or a guard

Write my own prescription

If I can't get a fix son

***** about to get real hard

Molly don't believe me

Says she's gonna leave me

The kids won't even know my name

Put a gallon in the step side

With a little help by morning I won't feel no pain

Never thought I'd wind up this far behind

Just a couple years back we had it made

I was emptying my bladder on a twenty foot ladder

Shoulda climbed down and found myself some shade

Doctor took a quick look and I got out the chequebook

And left with a pocket full of pills

Now my back's still hurtin' and I'm too weak for workin'

And I can't keep up with all the bills

She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning

And I'd hear her homemade house

Shoes slide across the floor

She used to make me feel like

The king of Oklahoma

But nothing makes me feel

Like much of nothing anymore

I was all set up to do it but

Some bastard beat me to it

Ain't a copper pipe left on the lot

Got a loan out on the truck

But I'm runnin' out of luck

And the title is the only thing I've got

Molly's gonna leave me

Says she don't believe me

I got nothing left to lie about

She's going back to Bixby

Tired of trying to fix me

Says I got some **** to figure out

She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning

And I'd hear her homemade house shoes slide across the floor

She used to make me feel like the king of Oklahoma

But nothing makes me feel like much of nothing anymore

She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning

And I'd act like I was sleepin' 'til

She'd walk back through the door

She used to make me feel like the

King of Oklahoma

But nothing makes me feel like much of nothing anymore
