So, last week down in Louisiana, my pal Roger Dorethy and I began throwing some ideas back and forth. This song is the result...

You’re an Addiction
© 2011 Eddie Minyard / Roger Dorethy
I tried every bar on Bourbon Street
To get you out of my mind
I tried those Nashville nights, Those Vegas lights
And anyplace else I could find
I’ve been to every party town in America, baby
Flew to Amsterdam, too
But no matter what I try, no matter how high
I can’t get over you
You’re an addiction, baby
A heart-wrenching affliction, baby
You took that thrill away
Now I’m searching for it every day
I need an interdiction, baby
A love with some conviction, baby
A love that’s deep and true
Like I thought I had with you
So I’ll keep spinnin’ around, from town to town
Spendin’ my money like a fool
But it’s a worthless chase, tryin to replace
That feelin that I got from you
It’s like I’m runnin on a treadmill, baby
Getting nowhere fast
Guess what they say is true, there ain’t no future
Livin in the past
You’re an addiction, baby
A heart-wrenching affliction, baby
You took that thrill away
Now I’m searching for it every day
I need an interdiction, baby
A love with some conviction, baby
A love that’s deep and true
Like I thought I had with you
I need an interdiction, baby
A love with some conviction, baby
A love that’s deep and true
Like I thought I had with you
A love that’s deep and true
Like I thought I had with you
