Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Like a freight train through my vein
Cocaine cannot kill my pain

Whiskey got no hold on me
Whiskey got no hold on me
Whiskey got no hold on me
Left them chains in Tennessee
Whiskey got no hold on me

So don't come knockin' on my door
Don't come knockin' at my door
Don't come knockin' at my door
Even that won't work no more
Don't come knockin' on my door

Heroin is the only thing
Heroin is the only thing
Heroin is the only thing
The only gift the darkness brings
Heroin is the only thing

Guess you'd best leave me alone
Guess you'd best leave me alone
Guess you'd best leave me alone
At least until these blues have gone
I guess you'd best leave me alone
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Like a freight train through my vein
Cocaine cannot kill my pain

Heroin is the only thing
Heroin is the only thing
Heroin is the only thing
The only gift the darkness brings
Heroin is the only thing

Well I guess you'd best leave me alone
Well I guess you'd best leave me alone
Well I guess you'd best leave me alone
At least until these blues have gone
I guess you'd best leave me alone
