Pensacola Lyrics

Cover art for Pensacola lyrics by Soul Coughing

Doughty, while an addict, went to Pensacola to get away from everything. There he lived with Gus, his one friend in the extended Soul Coughing group, his tour manager. He said that it seemed like a kind of white-trashy southern town. He was a fish out of water there.

They drank too much in Pensacola. He's going to buy beer. They go to a Wal-Mart to get it. The experience brings about a negative and dirty feeling, like the first realization that they're addicted to alcohol.
