Lyrics
California- those days are gone
Hot tub on the roof deck- Hot Russian blonds
A view straight of the sunset
Could see to Frisco Bay
I was parking cars and seeing stars
Then I lost my way to you
To you- I caught the cocaine blues
It was you-It was you
I caught the cocaine blues from you
Surfing in Redondo- Met up with Relondo
I walked right in- to a house of sin
Somebody put a gun to my chin
Woke up in L.A. County
Somebody stole my Nikes
There ain't no stars-behind these Bars
All I got is this picture I had of you
Of you- I caught the cocaine blues
It was you- It was you
I caught the cocaine blues- yeah from you
