Story Behind The Song

A well meaning song about the struggle and conquest over Cocaine.

Lyrics

VERSE #1

SO YOU THINK YOU’VE GOT THE ANSWER
TO WHY YOU FEEL SO BAD
WELL LAST NIGHT’S PARTY JUST MIGHT BE
THE BEST YOU’VE EVER HAD

YOU SEARCH AND SEARCH YOUR CONSCIENCE
FOR ANSWERS AND THE TRUTH
BUT WHEN YOU’RE HIGH YOU’RE SUPERMAN
GO HIDE IN YOUR TELEPHONE BOOTH, YEAH

VERSE #2

WHEN YOU’RE ALL ALONE TONIGHT
SOLO IN YOUR CAR
OR SITTIN’ WITH SOME DEBUTANT
IN YOUR FAVORITE NEIGHBORHOOD BAR

DON’T YOU EVER GET THE FEELIN’
WON’T THE THOUGHT JUST CROSS YOUR MIND
YOU KNOW THIS HIGH AIN’T GOOD FOR YOU
YOU’RE A CREATURE OF A DIFFERENT KIND

CHORUS #1

IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER
THE OUTCOME’S ALL THE SAME
THIS ONE YA KNOW YOU ‘RE SURE TO LOSE
YOU’LL NEVER WIN THIS GAME
IT’S A LONG, LONG ROAD
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOME

VERSE #3

HONKY TONK BARS
BIG BLOCK CARS
COCAINE BY THE GRAM…HAH
FOURTY POUND AXES
GOTTA PAY YOUR TAXES, BABY
GONNA SHOVE YA
GONNA PUSH YOU WITH MY RAIL

CHORUS #2

IT REALLY DOESN’T MATTER
THE OUTCOME’S ALL THE SAME
THIS ONE YA KNOW YOU’RE GONNA LOSE
YOU NEVER WIN THIS GAME
IT’S A LONG, LONG ROAD (lead fill)
IT’S A LONG, LONG ROAD
WHEN YOUR GOIN’ HOME
VERSE #4

TOO MANY SCARS UPON YOUR HEAD
FROM ALL THE TIMES YOU FOUGHT & BLED
IT’S A LONG, LONG ROW YOU GOT TO HOE
BUT WHEN YOU KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO

CHORUS #3

YOU FIND THAT IT MIGHT MATTER
THE OUTCOME COULD BE CHANGED
THE ODDS ARE ALWAYS THAT YOU LOSE
BUTCHA JUST MIGHT WIN THIS GAME
IT’S A LONG, LONG ROAD
WHEN YOU’RE GOIN’ HOME
IT’S A LONG, LONG ROAD
WHEN YOU’RE GOIN’ HOME
