I used to know a girl
she had two pierced nipples and a black tatoo
we'd drink that Mexican beer
we'd live on Mexican food
yes, I wish I could go back
yes, back in time
Esther used to be the kind of girl
that you would never leave
She'd do anything to give me what I need
for my disease
She'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the real world
but they don't understand
that I'm happy in hell with my Heroin girl
I am losing myself in a white-trash hell
Lost inside a Heroin girl
They found her out in the fields
about a mile from home
Her face was warm from the sun
but her body was cold
I heard a policeman say
Just another overdose
just another overdose!
Esther used to be the kind of lover
you would never leave
She'd do anything to give me what I need
for my disease
She would do anything
