j. donny carter - the cocaine blues lyrics
[verses 1-10]
trailer parks and fishing was all she knew
dirt road days and hunting too
she loved the moonshine and the meth;
all until she met a boy named seth
now, seth was young and strong and bright
he loved watching fish jump every night
but when the midnight sun was done shining pretty
seth got dressed and drove to the city
dreams of rocking chairs and the ocean rolling;
a nice grave to stow your broken soul in
lazy days and lonesome southern stars
but never thoughts about big cigars
well, seth donned a suit in early dawn
and asked her if she wanted to come along
she didn’t know of the neon sky
but she was never too afraid to try
she gave her mama a kiss right on the cheek
said goodbye to her dog and her big green jeep
she’d never seen farther than oil cans so black
and then she jumped in seth’s cadillac
old johnny cash turned to saxophones
and cigarettes turned to hash-filled bones
it was all so new, but she was coming along
and then she started singing a city song
she was a pretty girl with long blonde hair
and her midriff and thighs were smooth and bare
her eyes were big and a sea-like blue
and her br–sts could feed a whole d-mn zoo
seth gave her a little more than just a kiss
and dropped her off with a doll-faced miss
he told her she’s gotta please the lord above
that meant boot knocking, just without the love
at the end of day twelve, she made a thousand bucks
but ten times the tears rolling from her tear ducts
and she said, “seth, i don’t like the big city no more.”
rocking chairs are rain and they started to pour
well, seth said: “baby, please sit down.”
i know a way to punish that frown
he pulled a little white bag right from his pants
all it took was one hit and they began to dance
[first bridge]
all it took was two hits and they began to dance
all it took was five hits and they began to dance
all it took was six sniffs and they began to dance
all it took was ten shots and they began to dance
[distorted instrumental]
[chorus]
they call her cocaine sally, they call her cocaine sally
they call her cocaine sally, they call her cocaine sally
they call her cocaine sally, they call her cocaine sally
they call her cocaine sally, they call her cocaine sally
[post chorus]
she’s sucking d-ck, baby she’s sucking d-ck
oh baby, baby, she’s sucking d-ck
oh lord above, she’s feeling sick
oh lord above, just one more pr-ck
[verses 11-12]
well, cousin cocaine was done with a wink
he packed his things and left blood in the sink
old sally lay dead with blood shot eyes
and tear stains from her face to her thighs
old seth, well he’d seen it before
sally, baby, wasn’t his first strung-out wh0r-
but this little number rocked him right to his core
so he pushed the needle in just a little more
[distorted instrumental]
[second bridge]
cocaine, some doing smack, cocaine, some doing smack
cocaine, some doing smack, cocaine, some doing smack
oh, feel the pain, oh baby, feel the pain, oh baby, feel the pain
oh baby, feel the l-st, oh baby, feel the l-st, oh baby, feel the l-st
godd-mn it, baby, feel the pain
feel the rust run through her broken vein
[distortion stops]
[verse 13-14]
dreams of rocking chairs and the ocean rolling;
a nice grave to stow your broken soul in
lazy days and lonesome southern stars
but never thoughts about big cigars
dreams of rocking chairs and the ocean rolling;
a nice grave to stow your broken soul in
lazy days and lonesome southern stars
but never thoughts about big cigars
