My Elusive Drug

Im not the same as I used to be
All the things youve heard
seem hard to believe
Havent always been good,
never really been bad
Most times Ive been happy,
yea sometimes Ive been sad
Sure Ive made mistakes, havent we all
Ive been loose as a cannon and dumb as a wall
Havent always been sober in counting my ducks
And if I look back now Ive had my share of luck
But the change didnt come over night
Ive been searching for you all my life
All the habits that I couldnt handle
Ive swept them under the rug
In exchange for the sweetest addiction
You, my elusive drug
Im going to stay now, I really like it here
I may paint your picture,
and I might grow a beard
There were times I was crazy
couldnt handle my life
Dont think youd have liked me
not at any old price
But the change didnt come over night
Ive been searching for you all my life
All the habits that I couldnt handle
Ive swept them under the rug
In exchange for the sweetest addiction
You, my elusive drug
And Ive taken the pills
I got burnt out and chilled by the cold
But Ive no regrets and that being said
You know cheap thrills can get pretty old
Yeah, Yeah, oh Yeah
But the change didnt come over night
Ive been searching for you all my life
All the habits that I couldnt handle
Ive swept them under the rug
In exchange for the sweetest addiction
You,my elusive drug
In exchange for the sweetest addiction
You, my elusive drug
