Never Tried Cocaine (Stripped) Lyrics[Verse 1]
On the mean streets of New Orleans
Whiskey shots making beauty queens
I'm up all night, three hundred miles from home
Wasting me and my money, been here for two weeks
Man in the alley says he got what I need
But what I need is to not be alone
[Chorus]
I've never tried cocaine, I been thinking about it
'Cause the whiskey's tasting watered down
I need something stronger, hits a little harder
'Cause a broken heart is something I can't conquer
I've tried different women, I rеmember their namеs
In the heat of the moment, it's yours that I say
Everybody but you gets a piece of all this pain
But I've never tried cocaine, no
[Verse 2]
Now I'm wired up like these big easy lights
It don't freeze 'round here, it's snowing tonight
Heart beating harder, but it ain't beating for you, no
Yeah, it's heaven here for the devil down on Bourbon Street
I'm a VIP with a front row seat
What the hell have I gotten myself into?
[Chorus]
But I've never tried cocaine, I been thinking about it
'Cause the whiskey's tasting watered down
I need something stronger, hits a little harder
'Cause a broken heart is something I can't conquer
I've tried different women, I remember their names
In the heat of the moment, it's yours that I say
Everybody but you gets a piece of all this pain
Oh, but I've never tried cocaine, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
No, I've never tried cocaine
[Bridge]
Now it's getting crazy like the '80s back in Beverly Hills
Line by line with hundred dollar bills
I'm WFO and rock just like a stone
Yes, now I'm a rambling man, losing track of my days
The blues are everywhere and I don't care if they stay
Just sit me down with a guitar and a microphone
[Chorus]
Oh, 'cause I've never tried cocaine, hell, I been thinking about it
'Cause the whiskey's tasting watered down
I need something stronger, hits a little harder
'Cause a broken heart is something I can't conquer
I've tried different women, I remember their names
In the heat of the moment, girl, it's yours that I say
Yes, I've tried it all, I just can't ease the pain
Oh, but I've never tried cocaine, yes
[Outro]
No, I've never tried cocaine
