Cocaine Carolina Lyrics
Mornin' found me lying on a floor in New Orleans
Looking like the Apache 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 never could 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 Sandy Scuggs 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?
Someone said if I was lucky
I could go back to Kentucky
Lexington is famous for its bluegrass and its hills
Carolina we should get up
Don't you know we'll have to split up
Maybe I should go to California
Goodbye Cocaine Carolina you and I are through
I'm going back to Sandy Scuggs 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?

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
The song implies that cocaine is a more expensive habit than heroin but that heroin is more physically damaging. In fact the opposite may be true. Your mileage will vary.
To make sure you don't make a mistake with these highly dangerous hard drugs it's probably best to have a ménage à trois with Carolina and Sandy. Or why not take out Speedball Sally?
And when she breaks your heart Methadone Mandy will be there to pick up the pieces. But you know your just using her until you get back with your true love. But I digress.
