I was sitting here watching and listening to Muscle Shoals to Music Row tonight, when she introduced her song called "When The Whiskey Hits Me"... when an idea popped into my head. Now, mind you, I only finished it about a half hour ago, now... so it's still kinda 'rough draft'... but let me know what you think.
Keep in mind that it's only words... trust me when I say you do NOT want to hear me sing. Besides, not only can I NOT SING... I can't write music, either... just words. Aaaaaaaanyway, I rarely share my stuff with anyone, but since it was Hacker-inspired, I thought I'd post it on here to see what people thought.
It's called "When The Pills Hit Her" --- let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

When The Pills Hit Her
he never laid a hand on her
but the abuse was somehow stronger
than the conviction she had
to stick through this situation so bad
he promised it would end
and their relationship he'd mend
his promises were as empty
as the pill bottle when he'd
... hit another high
hope hit rock bottom
and after all this time,
she still hasn't forgotten
helplessly watching was the hardest
when the pills hit her,
they hit harder than his fist...
with no light left in his eyes
she watched him waste his life
he became nothing more than an empty shell
and his pills became her living hell
every time he got higher, she sank lower
until one day, she finally hit the door
when he swallowed his pride
in a handful of pills
she was gone to find a better life
leaving him there to get higher still
