"Cocaine" by J. J. Cale
PlayList on Amazon _ Written by the Oklahoma singer-songwriter (from the album "Troubadour" his fourth album, released in 1976) most notably covered by Eric Clapton on his 1977 album "Slowhand." In my mind, ironic or not, one of the most subtle anti-drug messages out there. If you can't get it back, well, you are out of control. Then again, too subtle? Add the following lines. She'll steal your life, might as well use a knife, cocaine - Stay in school, don't be a fool, cocaine. On guitar, the repeated classic riff is extended from a genre. Listen to You Really Got Me by The Kinks. Not to mention another extended version of the riff, Sunshine of Your Love by Cream. Lyrics? Go for "read more" ...Cocaine by J.J. Cale
If you want to hang out, you've got to take her out, cocaine
If you want to get down, get down on the ground, cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine
If you got bad news, you want to kick them blues, cocaine
When your day is done and you got to run, cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine
If your thing is gone and you want to ride on, cocaine
Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back, cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine
