Morning found me lyin' on a 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 call the Cocaine Carolina She was quite a lady then and I was twenty-two God knows how much I adored her I just never could afford her Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you. So goodbye Cocaine Carolina you and I are through I'm going back to Sandy Skag she knows just what to do She don't love me for my money she just wants my body honey Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you. Someone said if I was lucky I could go back to Kentucky Lexington was famous for its bluegrass and its hills Carolina we should get up don't you know we'll have to split up Cocaine carolina you and I are through. So goodbye Cocaine Carolina you and I are through I'm going back to Sandy Skag she knows just what to do She don't love me for my money she just wants my body honey Cocaine Carolina how did I get hooked on you.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui se réveille à New Orleans, désorienté et accablé par des souvenirs de sa belle, qu'il compare en quelque sorte à une addiction. Il se remémore sa rencontre avec elle sur un bateau, à l'époque où il était jeune et insouciant, et évoque son rêve d'amour pour elle, malgré une connexion qui semble être marquée par le danger et la dépendance. À mesure qu'il réalise que leur relation ne peut pas durer, il décide de tourner la page et de retourner vers une partenaire qui l'accepte tel qu'il est, sans intérêts financiers. Cette réflexion sur l'amour, la perte et les choix de vie est teintée d'une nostalgie amère.
