Cocaine cannot kill my pain Like a freight train through my vein Cocaine cannot kill my pain Whiskey got no hold on me Left them chains in Tennessee Whiskey got no hold on me Don't come knockin' on my door Even that won't work no more Don't come knockin' on my door Heroin is the only thing The only gift the darkness brings Heroin is the only thing Guess you'd best leave me alone At least until these blues have gone Guess you'd best leave me alone
