Cocaine and Ashes Lyrics

Words and Music by Son Volt "American Central Dust"
Chorus Chords for Intro: G C G Em D G
I've had strychnine, I thought I was dead
I snorted my father and I'm still a live
I did because that's how it is done
I'm the same as everyone, just kinda lucky
Body and soul, Cocaine and Ashes
Get to that place in time
Tears and blow in my mind
It's no way of life but I've tried everything once
I have no pretensions of immortali ty
I've been told I had six months to live
But I've outlasted them all
Body and soul, Cocaine and Ashes
Get to that place in time
Tears and blow in my mind
Senses and Spirit, mourning and misery
Addiction is somethin I should know somethin about
Whatever gets done I know that I'll be blamed
They say the king is the man who can
Body and soul, Cocaine and Ashes
Get to that place in time
Tears and blow in my mind
Body and soul, Cocaine and Ashes
Get to that place in time
Tears and blow in my mind
Body and soul, Cocaine and Ashes
Get to that place in time
Tears and blow in my mind
