Story I heard once

Let me tell a tearful addiction story

I heard while riding in the Baker’s lorry

Of a young lad who had a dream

A dream his life would be peaches and cream

He had a dream of becoming a butcher

An idea he had gotten from his teacher

He dreamed of a beautiful family

A dream he cherished daily

He got dragged into drugs and beer

And he paid a price so dear

One day when he was doped and drunk

The police found him dead in his car trunk

He had drugged himself to death

His blood was filled with Meth

He never lived to fulfill his dream

Drugs and alcohol robbed him of his dream
