When The Drugs Don’t Work

Song by Jelly Roll

& Ilsey

I know hopeless
I know broken
I know doors that keep on closing
I know high
That’s for sure
I know face down on that floor
That sun falls down it’s always gonna rise
And you know that’s the way it goes every time

When the high’s too high
And the low’s too low
And you want someone, but you want to be alone
And the drugs don’t work no more
Who’s gonna drive you home?
When it shines so bright, but you know it ain’t gold
And the city you love gets a piece of your soul
And the drugs don’t work no more
Who’s gonna drive you home?

I’ve been a user
I’ve been a thief
I’ve been knocked down on my knees
I’ve been hurt
I’ve been ashamed
I’ve been the one who caused the pain
That sun falls down it’s always gonna rise
And you know that’s the way it goes every time

When the high’s too high
And the low’s too low
And you want someone, but you want to be alone
And the drugs don’t work no more
Who’s gonna drive you home?
When it shines so bright, but you know it ain’t gold
And the city you love gets a piece of your soul
And the drugs don’t work no more
Who’s gonna drive you home?

Ooh, I will, I will, I will
Ooh, I will, I will, I will
When the drugs don’t work no more
Who’s gonna drive you home?
Who’s gonna drive you home?

When the high’s too high
And the low’s too low
And you want someone, but you wanna be alone
And the drugs don’t work no more
When it shines so bright, but you know it ain’t gold
And the city you love gets a piece of your soul
And the drugs don’t work no more
Who’s gonna drive you home?

Ooh, I will, I will, I will
Ooh, I will, I will, I will
When the drugs don’t work no more
Who’s gonna drive you home?
