Lyrics
Well I could've been a boxer
I could've won the belt
But I was always too busy
Fooling around with something else
*Refrain:
Cocaine
Cocaine
Cocaine
Tell me why
Why doesn't it ever rain cocaine?
Well I had a wife and kids
I had me a dog a job and rent
But I never quite understood
Just where all my money went
*Refrain:
Cocaine
Cocaine
Cocaine
Tell me why
Why doesn't it ever rain cocaine?
Well I wound up in the flophouse
Hustling down the street
And doing lines with all them rich kids
Right off the toilet seat
*Refrain:
Cocaine
Cocaine
Cocaine
Tell me why
Why doesn't it ever rain cocaine?
Well I used to feel so guilty
About all the things I've done
But all the friends I used to have
Are gone except for one
*Refrain:
Cocaine
Cocaine
Cocaine
Tell me why
Why doesn't it ever rain cocaine?
