Cover art for Methamphetamine lyrics by Old Crow Medicine Show

this song is among the many reasons why ocms is my favorite band that is still together today. i love how they are so blunt about this shitty drug, i feel ashamed to say it but this song is as bad ass as can be. meth is a shitty drug, just listen to this song and you will realise that meth is bad, please don't bother trying it cuz you will learn alot faster than you ever had wanted to, know just how quickly meth will destroy yourself and as well as anything else that you thought might have held you and your life together.

i also am amused that the band released this song when they were already famous and already on their third album, because in my opinion this song has been brewing in these guys since before this band could even stand, although probably written more recent than that. what i'm trying to say is this; the old crow medicine show has probably "been there" and "done that" way before this song was even penned onto paper, many, many years prior. keep in mind that this is not a good thing and that crystal meth with lift you up until you break. semi charmed death.
