Cocaine

Steve Earle


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
