STEVE EARLE lyrics - Cocaine

(Gary Davis, additional lyrics by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey)



You take Sally and I'll take Sue

There ain't no difference between the two

Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain



Headin' down Scott, turnin' up Main

Looking for that girl who sells cocaine

Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain



Late last night about a quarter past four

Ladanyi come knockin' down my hotel room door

Where's the cocaine -

It's runnin' all 'round my brain



I was talking to my doctor down at the hospital

He said, "Son, it says here you're twenty-seven,

But that's impossible

Cocaine - you look like you could be forty-five"



Now I'm losing touch with reality and I'm almost out of blow

It's such a fine line - I hate to see it go

Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain
