Cheap Whiskey & Bad Cocaine

I ain’t ever been on the radio
Barely got a dime to my name
Never walked down no red
Carpet never had my 15 minutes of fame
But I know in my heart I could be a star
Until everyone else feels the same
I’ll be riding high, as a Georgia Pine
On cheap whiskey and bad cocaine

I ain’t ever worked the factory line
9 to 5 would drive me insane
But I’ve been keeping busy ‘cause
You know what folks like to stay
They say idle hands do the devil’s work
So I’ve been working all night and day
Putting in overtime with bootleg wine
Cheap whiskey and bad cocaine

I’ve had some luck with women but
Mostly they just go away
Angry or sad, then I’m just left
With some damn fool heartache
I much prefer the kind of hurt
That only lasts for a day
The next day bed as you’re holding your head
From cheap whiskey and bad cocaine

If you’re sitting around, all broke down
You’ve only got yourself to blame
‘Cause the only cure, I know for sure
Is cheap whiskey and bad cocaine
