Charlie's Medicine Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Okemo 

Cover art for Charlie's Medicine lyrics by Warren Zevon

Warren's drug dealer at one point was a young kid who also worked at a pharmacy. Warren used to get his pills illegally through this kid. One day another drug dealer (or perhaps a customer) shot and killed the kid.

Warren went to the funeral to show his respect. "I came to say goodbye,I'm sorry Charlie died I came to finish paying my bill"
