Intro: E E E A D (2x)
Verse
E
I did a one night stand in Phoenix, at a run down dirty bar
E
And as I stumble off the stage an old man grabbed my guitar
D
He said son I'm glad I caught your show, I really dig your sound
A
But you may never get your chance if you don't slow down
E
I said I'm hopped up on the cocaine
E
Shootin' whiskey, feeling no pain
A D DSus A
Need a handful of pills just to get back down
E
Half a bottle of George Dickel
E
And a fully loaded pistol
D
Scares off all the demons
A E
Every time they come around
D
I've lost track of all the women
A
Can't get back what I've been spending
D
That's just the cost of living
A E
More than one year at a time

But then his words cut through the smoke, he said I understand

He said I'm hopped up on the cocaine

Shootin' whiskey, feeling no pain
