While we sit together sad like our fathers used to be
I'm looking up and God is saying, "What are you gonna do?"
I know my special rider, I can feel her in the dark
Don't let her take her love to town they will never fill her heart
She's like heroin to me
She's like heroin to me
I'm looking up and I'm crying, "I thought it was up to you!"
She cannot miss a vein
So, I'm blowing back my trouble to the east
I know a perfect run by the sleep it puts in my heart
So mainline it!
She's like heroin to me
But, she will never know that she is there
She's like heroin to me
She is like an eye-blue swimming pool
I know, because I'm like the train shooting down the mainline
She cannot miss a vein
She feels like heroin to me
I know, because I'm like the Indian wind along the telegraph lines
She's like heroin to me
But now
She needs a passion like her father's used to be
We sit together drunk like our fathers used to be
I've been a real good tombstone, but now I'm blowing away
She's like heroin to me
I guess that I'd be cool, but there's a tickle in my veins
I cannot get a look at it
She feels like heroin to me
And she's like heroin to me
