[John Mark McMillan - The Medicine lyrics]
Driving by those trucker stops
The cheap motels made of concrete rocks
With a hole inside your chest
The size of a city block i remember the days
When you said you weren't afraid to die
I don't think you're brave for it
I just think you're more
Afraid of being alive
If I had the medicine
I'd give you the medicine
'Cause, I miss you, son
I'd bring you back home if I was the one
But, it's four and ten
In the belly of the four am
And you're staring down another weekend
To silence the pain and I'm wide awake
And there's blood on the promenade
Here's to waking up with that
Stone between your ribs
And you're lying down again
You just pretend you don't know what it is
When everyone around you says you're not
The one to blame for it
But, you're the only one that's
Feeling the pain for it
So you're gonna take matters
Into your own hands, yeah
If I had the medicine
I'd give you the medicine
'Cause, I miss you son
I'd bring you back home if I was the one
But, it's four and ten
In the belly of the four am
And you're staring down another weekend
To silence the pain and I'm wide awake
And there's blood on the promenade
If I had the medicine
I'd give you the medicine
'Cause, I miss you son
I'd bring you back home, but I'm not the one
'Cause it's four and it's ten
In the belly of the four am
And you're staring down another weekend
To silence the pain and I'm wide awake
And there's blood
The cheap motels made of concrete rocks
With a hole inside your chest
The size of a city block i remember the days
When you said you weren't afraid to die
I don't think you're brave for it
I just think you're more
Afraid of being alive
If I had the medicine
I'd give you the medicine
'Cause, I miss you, son
I'd bring you back home if I was the one
But, it's four and ten
In the belly of the four am
And you're staring down another weekend
To silence the pain and I'm wide awake
And there's blood on the promenade
Here's to waking up with that
Stone between your ribs
And you're lying down again
You just pretend you don't know what it is
When everyone around you says you're not
The one to blame for it
But, you're the only one that's
Feeling the pain for it
So you're gonna take matters
Into your own hands, yeah
If I had the medicine
I'd give you the medicine
'Cause, I miss you son
I'd bring you back home if I was the one
But, it's four and ten
In the belly of the four am
And you're staring down another weekend
To silence the pain and I'm wide awake
And there's blood on the promenade
If I had the medicine
I'd give you the medicine
'Cause, I miss you son
I'd bring you back home, but I'm not the one
'Cause it's four and it's ten
In the belly of the four am
And you're staring down another weekend
To silence the pain and I'm wide awake
And there's blood
