Townes Van Zandt - Cocaine Lyrics
Every time me and my baby go uptown*Police come and they knock me down.Cocaine run all 'round my brain.Yeah, baby, come here quick,This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick.Cocaine run all 'round my brain.Yonder come my baby, dressed in red,She's got a shotgun, says she's gonna kill me dead.Cocaine run all 'round my brain.Early one mornin', half past four,Cocaine knockin' at my door.Cocaine run all 'round my brain.You take Mary, I'll take Sue,Ain't no difference 'twixt the two.Cocaine run all 'round my brain.Yeah, baby, come here quick,This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick.Cocaine run all 'round my brain.Started down Beall Street and I'm turnin' up Main,Lookin' for a gal that sells cocaine.Cocaine run all 'round my brain.Well, I reached into my pocket, grabbed my poke,Note in my pocket said, ""No more coke.""Cocaine run all 'round my brain.Cocaine's for horses, not for men,They tell me it'll kill me, but they won't say when.Cocaine run all 'round my brain.Yeah, baby, come here quick,This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick.Cocaine run all 'round my brain.
