Powder in the Crown

I got lost in whiskey 'bout 1979
To the point I had to learn to fly
So I left the [?] To ease my troubled

Mind said it was all I'd left behind
couldn't drown the sorrow or fly away
All the whiskey and sweet cocaine

I woke up in Kingston Face down in the road with half
an ounce still in my billfold so I went and bought a forty

to chase away the drift I was numb down to my finger tips I
couldn't drown the sorrow or fly
away all the whiskey and sweet cocaine

Because the whiskey will leave you Myer while the cocaine takes you
higher no madder where you go it's always
the same all the whiskey and sweet cocaine

I went back to find her still holding on
to him I felt it all come back rushing in
So I mixed me up a drink

a little powder and the crown I went back home and got that shot gun
down I couldn't drown the memories or
fly away all the whiskey and sweet cocaine

Because the whiskey will leave you
Myer while the cocaine takes you higher

Two Smokey barrels gone in my daddy's old
twelve gauge all the whiskey and sweet cocaine
