Cocaine Lyrics
Their ain't no difference between the two
Cocaine, running all 'round my brain
Looking for that girl that sells cocaine
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain
Ladanyi come knockin' down my hotel room door
Where's the cocaine--
It's runnin' all 'round my brain
He said, "Son, it says here you're twenty-seven,
But that's impossible
Cocaine-- you look like you could be forty-five"
It's such a fine line-- I hate to see it go
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain
zomg this song is about drugs!!!111
yeah, this one actually is.
Who hasn't played their own version of this song at some point in their career? Really?
"Blood on the highway."
it takes a clear mind to take it.
He's also written a great "Rehab" version of this one.
This one isn't a Jackson Browne original, though. It was written by the Rev. Gary Cole, Browne just did his own re-imagined version.
Townes Van Zandt also did his own version with very different lyrics. The TVZ version is very good also.
Er, the Rev. Gary Davis, that is. Gary Cole is an actor. No idea why my fingers typed that.
In the radio show he did with Warren Zevon back in 1976 he played this song in the radio studio, and said that the verse about going to his doctor down at the hospital who said he looked 45, not 27 , was written by Glenn Frey of the Eagles, Jackson's buddy.
