[Verse 1]
You take Sally and I'll take Sue
There ain't no difference between the two
Cocaine, running all 'round my brain

[Verse 2]
Headin' down Scott, turnin' up Main
Looking for that girl who sells cocaine
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain

[Bridge]
Mmm momma come here quick
That old cocaine 'bout to make me sick
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain

[Verse 3]
Late last night about a quarter past four
Ladanyi come knockin' down my hotel room door
Where's the cocaine?
Said it's runnin' all 'round my brain

[Verse 4]
I was talking to my doctor down at the hospital
(What'd he say?)
He said, "Son, it says here you're twenty-seven
But that's impossible
Cocaine, you look like you could be forty-five"
[Verse 5]
Now I'm losing touch with reality and I'm almost out of blow
It's such a fine line I hate to see it go
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain

[Outro: Jackson Browne, Band Member & David Lindley]
Blood on the highway. 
Gotta take either more of it or less of it. I can't quite figure out which one. 
Well, I tell ya what it does take. It takes a clear mind is what it takes. 
You mean it takes a clear mind to take it or a clear mind not to take it?
It takes a clear mind to make it.
