Lyrics

The Addicts next Door
V1
You OD'd again at the girls’ softball game
The Police and EMT came
neighbors were there and so were our friends
Taking pity and cursing your name
They gave you a shot of Narcan
Until you started breathing again

Chorus
Remember when you were still golden
The girl with the soft angel face
Your innocent heart has been stolen
By the poison that runs through your veins
There’s no emotion
You’re burned out and broken
Riding on a runaway train

V 2
Your mom took the kids you're dad took his life
Ashamed of what they could not hide
We all need a fix this whole country is sick
You and me, we barely survive
With a habit we can't support
We are the addicts next door

Chorus
Remember when our love was golden
The vows on our wedding day
The dreams we had have been stolen
By the poison we share in our veins
There’s no emotion
We’re burned out and broken
Riding this runaway train

Chorus
Remember when life was still golden
Like the hope on our children’s face
your body it shakes in the morning
For the life that you've always craved
So let's dull the pain
And we’ll ride it again
We’re lost on runaway train
We’re lost on runaway train
