Cheap Cocaine Songtext
von Willi Carlisle

Eight miles outta Galesburg, I′m starin' at the rain
Eight ball left of the cheap cocaine
And I′m lookin' at the sunlight, light through the pines
I couldn't tell you what it is, its always been mine

Now that I′m gone, I think of the man
With a meth pipe clutched in his bone-thin hand
I said, "Hey brother, I hope you get straight"
I bet I don′t meet him at the pearly gates

I sing: Hey mama I been staring at the rain
A little heart break, a little soul pain
I been up all night on the cheap cocaine
Trynna make it better but its always the same

Well, I made a few new friends in a Rockford bar
I told 'em all lies, I said I was in charge
Of the afterparty where the women were loose
I partied with the metalheads, with gin and juice


Hungover as hell, I slept and shit on the lawn
I′m tired of twenty-somethings and their punk rock songs
Wake up in the morning and stumble towards the down
Sayin', "How ya doin′ boy, it's been too long"

I sing: Hey mama, I been staring at the rain
A little heartbreak, a little soul pain
I been up all night on the cheap cocaine
Trynna make it better but it′s always the same

On the streets of Chicago with sidekick Sally
I was hitting up the bars on Viagra Alley
Where the men pick up women not half their age
All I had for them was my tears and my rage

And I thought it was a fight so I went for my knife
And the man shook my hand with his kids and his wife
And I was so ashamed I hung back and cried
Leave all that to Saint Peter, wait 'til I die

I sing: Hey mama, I been staring at the rain
A little heart break, a little soul pain
I been up all night on the cheap cocaine
Trynna make it better but it's always the same

I been up all night, I been starin′ at the sky
And I′m still lonely but I couldn't tell you
Why
