Cocaine Carolina Lyrics

Mornin' found me lyin' on a floor in New Orleans,
Lookin' like the patches was about to eat my jeans.
Feelin' like my belly was a warehouse for the blues.
And I sure miss my sweet Cocaine Carolina.
Met her on an oceanliner, called her Cocaine Carolina.
She was quite a lady then and I was twenty-two.
God knows how much I adored her. I just never could afford her.
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?

[Johnny & David:]
So goodbye, Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through.
I'm goin' back to Sandy Scag, she knows just what to do.
She don't love 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 back to Kentucky.
Lexington was famous for its bluegrass and its hills.
[Johnny:]
Carolina we should get up. Don't you know we'll have to split up?
Maybe I should go to California.

[Johnny & David:]
Goodbye, Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through.
I'm goin' back to Sandy Scag she knows just what to do.
She don't love me for my money, she just wants my body, honey.
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
[Johnny:]
Oh, goodbye, Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through.
I'm goin' back to Sandy Scag, she knows just what to do.
She don't love me for my money, she just wants my body, honey.
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?

Oh, Goodbye, Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through.
[Fade.]
I'm goin' back to Sandy Scag she knows just what to do.
She don't love me for my money...
