[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Morning found me laying on the floor in New Orleans
Looking like the patches 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 could not afford her
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?

[Chorus]
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
I'm going back to LA getting clean, what I need to do
She don't want me for my money, she just wants my body, honey
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?

[Verse 2]
Oh, someone said if I was lucky, I could go to Kentucky
Lexington was famous for its strip clubs and its pills
Carolina, oh, we should get up
Don't you know we'll have to split up?
Maybe I should go back to California
[Chorus]
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
I'm going back to LA getting clean, what I need to do
She don't want me for my money, she just wants my body, honey
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?

[Outro]
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
Cocaine Carolina, how did I get hooked on you?
