Yeah, cocaine cannot kill my pain
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Like a freight train through my vein
Cocaine cannot kill my pain

Now whiskey got no hold on me
Whiskey got no hold on me
Whiskey got no hold on me
Left them chains in Tennessee
Whiskey got no hold on me

Now don't come knocking on my door
Girl, don't come knocking on my door
Don't come knocking on my door
Even that won't work no more
Don't come knocking on my door

'Cause heroin's the only thing
Heroin's the only thing
Heroin's the only thing
The only gift the darkness brings
Heroin's the only thing

Guess you'd best leave me alone
Guess you'd best leave me alone
Guess you'd best leave me alone
At least until these blues have gone
Guess you'd best leave me alone

Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Like a freight train through my vein
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
