(Rev. Gary Davis, additional lyrics by Jackson Browne & Glenn Frey)

Sittin' here thinking 'bout back when

Everybody I knew, was my best friend
cocaine, running all round my brain


It was you take Sally, and I'll take Sue
and if you let me see your !@%!e, I'll take Sally too
cocaine, running all round my brain

Uh-hu mama, ain't it strange
How a mind can turn, and a life can change
Cocaine, runnin' all round my brain


There was damage to the body
Damage to the soul

Damage to the quality of the Rock n' Roll
And the years spent stumbling around
half knowing something that something was wrong


And it don't help now, but you can look back and see
how some of us damaged are creativity

And there are good friends of mine that are dead and gone

uhhuh, mmmhmmm, cocaine


Now I ain't saying, it wasn't fun at the time
Staying up for days on end, crazed out of my mind

Waking up in strange places
feeling like the army had marched across my tongue


And look at me now, sharp as a tack
Except for a few billion brain cells
I wouldn't mind having back


Now you take Nancy, and I'll take Ron
No telling what kinds of drugs those two are on

Inner city ghetto children, going down slow
Ron and Nancy wanna tell them
you can Just Say No

Then they cancel the school lunch program,
buy a few more tanks
Uh huh, come here quick

The hypocrisy, bout to make me sick

Well ya finally get so tired, of walking around

looking and feeling like %#@!
You decide Today is the day is the day I quit
Till a little later in the evening

You start thinking about...Whatcha gonna do?

But I wouldn't have been a user, even one more day

If you could have shown me how I was helping
turn a profit for the CIA
Cocaine, runnin' all round my brain
