Cheap Cocaine

Eight miles outta Galesburg, I'm starin' at the rain
 Eight ball left of the cheap cocaine
 And I'm lookin' at the sunlight, light through the pines
 I couldn't tell you what it is, its always been mine
 Now that I'm gone, I think of the man
 With a meth pipe clutched in his bone-thin hand
 I said, "Hey brother, I hope you get straight"
 I bet I don't meet him at the pearly gates
 I sing: Hey mama I been staring at the rain
 A little heart break, a little soul pain
 I been up all night on the cheap cocaine
 Trynna make it better but its always the same
 Well, I made a few new friends in a Rockford bar
 I told 'em all lies, I said I was in charge
 Of the afterparty where the women were loose
 I partied with the metalheads, with gin and juice
 Hungover as hell, I slept and shit on the lawn
 I'm tired of twenty-somethings and their punk rock songs
 Wake up in the morning and stumble towards the down
 Sayin', "How ya doin' boy, it's been too long"
 I sing: Hey mama, I been staring at the rain
 A little heartbreak, a little soul pain
 I been up all night on the cheap cocaine
 Trynna make it better but it's always the same
 On the streets of Chicago with sidekick Sally
 I was hitting up the bars on Viagra Alley
 Where the men pick up women not half their age
 All I had for them was my tears and my rage
 And I thought it was a fight so I went for my knife
 And the man shook my hand with his kids and his wife
 And I was so ashamed I hung back and cried
 Leave all that to Saint Peter, wait 'til I die
 I sing: Hey mama, I been staring at the rain
 A little heart break, a little soul pain
 I been up all night on the cheap cocaine
 Trynna make it better but it's always the same
 I been up all night, I been starin' at the sky
 And I'm still lonely but I couldn't tell you
 Why
