You're shaving your legs in my bathroom
So you can wear your blue summer dress
To drive me a mile to the courthouse
So I can get my license back

Take it step by step, read it line by line
Sleep well once in a while
Take your Oxycontin, it'll make you smile
Come with me, I will lead you quietly out

Your daughter's in a play about the circus
She catches your eye in the crowd
And I catch a tear down your make-up
When the children come out for a bow

Later that night on the front porch
After you put her in the bed
I catch something there in your laughing
I ain't heard since I was a kid

Take it step by step, read it line by line
Sleep well once in a while
Take your Oxycontin, it'll fuck you up
Come with me and I will lead you quietly on

Take it step by step, read it line by line
Sleep well once in a while
Take your Oxycontin, it'll fix your smile
Come with me and I'll let you quietly drive
