Wrote this song while sitting on the dusty backlot of a movie set in Nacogdoches, Texas.

lyrics

Cocaine Cowboy

Just drove into Texas
In his brand new Cadillac
He’s got steer horns on the grill (yeah)
And a rattlesnake in back

He comes here to do his business
In the land of oil and honey
He was born under a dollar sign
He’s just rolling in the money

He’s a cocaine cowboy on the highway
Glitter incarnate on the road
He drives into town where the streets are paved with gold
And where the devil calls his home

He’s got a hot little woman beside him
She’s got hair down to her thighs
She’s got a tattoo on her ankle
That says ‘reach for the sky’

The back door is his entrance
And a shotgun his right arm
The white powder bring him his freedom
From a life back on the farm

Now if Hell were a city
He’d be sitting on its throne
His open arms in welcome
For the gambler in our souls
