[Verse 1]
I’ve been running white lines down the 44
Searching for a feeling I can’t find no more
Between the empty coffee cups and the static on the dash
I’m just a ghost in a jacket, waiting for the crash
I used to think the remedy was found in a jar
Or the temporary solace of a dim-lit bar.
[Pre-Chorus]
But the whiskey’s got a ceiling and the pills got a cost
And I’m tired of counting up everything I’ve lost
Then you walk in the room like a quiet Sunday morn'
And I forget why I was ever travel-worn.
[Chorus]
'Cause baby, loving you is like getting stoned
It settles in my marrow and it finds its way home
I don't need a needle or a glass to feel the rush
The world goes quiet in the middle of your touch
It’s a natural high, sent from up above
I’m a desperate man, and you are my drug.
[Verse 2]
My hands used to shake when the sun went down
Chasing any kind of shadow in this godforsaken town
But you’re the steady hand on a trembling heart
The only thing that keeps me from falling apart
They say addiction is a hole you can't fill
But I’ll take your spirit over any kind of pill.[Bridge]
[Tempo slows down, heavy strumming]
And if the withdrawal hits when you walk out the door
I’ll be shaking on the tile, begging for more
I’m a junkie for your kindness, a fool for your grace
I find my salvation in the lines on your face.
[Chorus]
Yeah, loving you is like getting stoned
It settles in my marrow and it finds its way home
I don't need a needle or a glass to feel the rush
The world goes quiet in the middle of your touch
It’s a natural high, sent from up above
I’m a desperate man, and you are my drug.
(Outro]
Yeah, you’re my fix...
You’re the habit I ain't ever gonna kick!
You are...
You are...
You are my drug
