Cocaine Carolina Lyrics

Johnny Cash Cocaine Carolina Lyrics

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, called her 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
Chorus:
So goodbye Cocaine Carolina, you and I are through
I'm going back to Sandy Skags, 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
Oh 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
Maybe I should go to California
Repeat chorus
