Gram Parsons - Codine Lyrics
Well my belly's a cravin
I got a shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dyin'
And I wish I was dead
If I live till tomorrow
And I'll reel and fall
And come down from codine
And it's real
It's real
One more time
Well when I was a little boy
I learned not to care
For whiskey confronted
Well my parents they told me
"That whiskey's a curse"
But the fate of their baby
Was a million times worse
And it's real
It's real
One more time
You'll forget about women
You'll forget about men
Try it just once
And you'll try it again
You'll forget about livin'
You'll forget about time
And spend the rest of your days
As a slave to codine
Stay away from your cities
Stay away from your town
Stay away from the man
Pushin codine around
Stay away from your stores
Where the remedy's fine
Stay away from the man
Who's got dope on his mind
And it's real
It's real
One more time
Stick a fire down low
You know is one thing I've done
I heeded the warning
That I got when I was young
And my one satisfaction
Only comes when I think
That I'll wait out my days
Not forbidden to drink
And my belly's a cravin'
I got a shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dyin'
And I wish I was dead
If I live till tomorrow
That'll be a long time
And I'll reel and I'll fall
And I'll die on codine
And it's real
It's real
One more time
And it's real
Oh, it's real
No more time

And it's real , it's real one more time . Man What a line .
You know what I really hate about YouTube lol..they put shit in the “suggested for you” section that’s like super common. Fuckin show these youngins some classics that are uncommon😒 I’m 24 and I have better suggestions than youtube 🤨
If you want to play it, I recommend you use the tuning DADGAD with a capo on the 2nd fret, ironically turning the tuning back to an almost normal tuning: EBEABE. Some variations are fun, but this ome works for me best.
Well my belly's a cravin,
I got a shakin' in my head.
I feel like I'm dyin,
And I wish I was dead
If I live till tomorrow,
That'll be a long time,
And I'll reel and fall,
And come down from codine.
And it's real,
It's real
One more time.
Well when I was a little boy,
I learned not to care.
For whiskey confronted
I often did swear.
Well my parents they told me,
"That whiskey's a curse, "
But the fate of their baby
Was a million times worse.
And it's real,
It's real
One more time.
You'll forget about women,
You'll forget about men.
Try it just once,
And you'll try it again.
You'll forget about livin'
You'll forget about time,
And spend the rest of your days
As a slave to codine.
Stay away from your cities,
Stay away from your town.
Stay away from the man
Pushin codine around.
Stay away from your stores
Where the remedy's fine
Stay away from the man
Who's got dope on his mind.
And it's real,
It's real
One more time.
Stick a fire down low
You know is one thing I've done
I heeded the warning
That I got when I was young
And my one satisfaction
Only comes when I think
That I'll wait out my days
Not forbidden to drink.
And my belly's a cravin'
I got a shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dyin
And I wish I was dead.
If I live 'til tomorrow
That'll be a long time
And I'll reel and I'll fall,
And I'll die on codine.
And it's real,
It's real
One more time.
And it's real,
Oh, it's real,
No more time
Damn......so beautiful❤❤
That vibatro.... Love his non country stuff, but you can tell he was already listening to country music in this one.
Talent unmatchd!!!⚠
gorgeous x

How could anyone give this a thumbs down?
Fucking Philistines.
Rough and raw, but truly beautiful...
Thanks for posting this great recoding .
what a great simple tune gram was magic gone to soon sad sad sad
One of the greatest musicians of,all time. Taken from us way too,early! RIP GRAM
Buffy's live version is the strongest...by far.
She wrote the damned thing--people tend to forget this fact.
It's also the one he's borrowing on most heavily here even though he stretches the changes out.
Janis does an intense version, also. Buffy's the best.
the very best version of this song. By Far, though i do love Pearl, and Donovan is awesome
