Cocaine and Whiskey
Cocaine Whiskey Blues: A Soul's Journey through Heartbreak and Redemption
Lyrics
Knock one two three times ring my door bell
Yearning for connection; seeking someone to come to his door.
As I wake with an achin head
Waking up with a headache, possibly from a night of excess.
With an empty bottle of sleeping pills
Discovering an empty bottle of sleeping pills near the bed.
Lyin right next by my bed
Highlighting the aftermath of a troubled night.
Jack Daniel's to my left
Jack Daniel's whiskey positioned to the left of the speaker.
Ohh white powder to my right
A reference to the presence of cocaine, a white powder, on the right.
My head got cold and my knees grew weak
Physical and emotional effects; cold head and weak knees.
Line 'em up think I'll have one more line
Contemplating another dose, possibly of cocaine.
Cocaine whiskey in my blood stream
Acknowledging the influence of cocaine and whiskey in the bloodstream.
My baby's gone left me all alone
Expressing loneliness and the departure of a significant other.
Cocaine whiskey on my breath ya see now
Indicating the presence of cocaine whiskey on the breath.
Line 'em up think I'll have one more line
Considering another line of cocaine.
Ooh my friends they try to tell me
Friends advising the speaker to move on from the past.
You know Wesley you really gotta move on
Acknowledging advice while recognizing the difficulty of moving forward.
But we all know how the story goes
Reflecting on the predictable nature of the situation.
A man aint gonna move till he's damn good and ready
Asserting that a person will not move on until ready.
Lyin there holding your picture frame
Clutching a picture frame, possibly of the departed person.
Demons roll in think I'll have one more line
Considering another line of cocaine in the face of inner demons.
Cocaine whiskey on my breath ya see now
Reiterating the presence of cocaine whiskey on the breath after loss.
My baby's gone left me all alone
Reiterating the loneliness resulting from a departed loved one.
Cocaine whiskey in my blood stream
Reiterating the influence of cocaine whiskey in the bloodstream.
Line 'em up think I'll have one more line
Considering another line of cocaine as a coping mechanism.
Cocaine whiskey stay the hell away from me
Expressing a desire for distance from the negative influences of cocaine and whiskey.
Traveling band help me to move on
Seeking solace in the company of a traveling band to move on.
Cocaine whiskey aint got no power over me
Asserting personal strength over the power of cocaine whiskey.
And I wonder if it all
Reflecting on the surreal nature of past experiences.
Was a dream
Questioning the reality of the past, possibly suggesting it felt like a dream.
