​cocaine carolina ​

Morning found me lying on a
Floor in New Orleans
Looking like the patches was about
To eat my jeans feeling like my belly was a
Warehouse for the blues
And I sure miss my sweet Cocaine Carolina
Met her on an ocean liner
Called her Cocaine Carolina
She was quite a lady then
And I was twenty-two
God knows how much I adored her
I just could not afford her
Cocaine Carolina
How did I get hooked on you?

So goodbye Cocaine Carolina
You and I are through
I'm going back to LA getting clean
What I need to do
She don't want me for my money
She just wants my body, honey
Cocaine Carolina
How did I get hooked on you?

Oh someone said if I was lucky
I could go to Kentucky
Lexington was famous for it's strip
Clubs and it's pills
Carolina, oh, we should get up
Don't you know we'll have to split up?
Maybe I should go back to California

So goodbye Cocaine Carolina
You and I are through
I'm going back to LA getting clean
What I need to do
She don't want me for my money
She just wants my body, honey
Cocaine Carolina
How did I get hooked on you?

Cocaine Carolina
How did I get hooked on you?
Cocaine Carolina
How did I get hooked on you?
