Drug Problems

The Bellamy Brothers


Tom: D

D
I hear people talking
             
About going cold turkey
G                                  D
Trying out, checking in to Betty Ford
 G                                 D           Em
But I just can't relate to those strange addictions
A7                                 D
Cause my drug problems never went ignored

[Chorus]
D                       G                 D
You see, I was drug to church on Sunday morning
D              G       D
I was drug to family reunions 
G                               D           Em
I was drug to grandpa's farm to work every summer
G                                  A7
And I was drug to weddings and to funerals
D                  G                      D
I was drug out the door to go to school, everyday
D                G               D
I was drug by my ears when I was bad
G                    D               Em
When I disobeyed, my parents were my teachers
G                                 A7
I was drug to the woodshed by my Dad        
D                         G                  D
And those drugs are still running through my veins
D                      G      D
Still effecting what I do and say 
G                                    D       Em
And if kids today had those kind of drug problems
   G                      A7           D
I believe the world would be a better place

[Instrumental]
D        G           D       A7        D

[Verse 2]
D               G                D
I won't claim I grew up to be perfect, far from it
D               G                    D
But every time I start to make a slip
G                                     D  
I can see Daddy reaching for the Good Book 
G                                         A7
And hear those payers role from Mamma's lips
D                         G                    D
And that's why I count my blessings every evening
D                   G         D
And pray to the good Lord up above
G                              D      Em
To thank him for giving me a drug problem
      G          A7                      D             
And a home and a family filled with love

[Chorus] (x2)
D                       G                 D
You see, I was drug to church on Sunday morning
D              G       D

G                               D           Em

G                                  A7

D                G               D
