Lyrics Steve Earle

Steve Earle

CCKMP

Yeah, 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

Now 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

Now don't come knockin' on my door

Girl, don't come knockin' on my door

Don't come knockin' on my door

Even that won't work no more

Don't come knockin' on my door

'Cause 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

Guess you'd best leave me alone

'Cause 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
