Left them chains in Tennessee
Now whiskey got no hold on me
Even that won't work no more
Heroin is the only thing
Don't come knockin' on my door
Guess you'd best leave me alone
Don't come knockin' on my door
Girl, don't come knockin' on my door
Whiskey got no hold on me
The only gift the darkness brings
Whiskey got no hold on me
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Heroin is the only thing
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Guess you'd best leave me alone
Like a freight train through my vein
Like a freight train through my vein
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
Now don't come knockin' on my door
Whiskey got no hold on me
Guess you'd best leave me alone
Guess you'd best leave me alone
'Cause cocaine cannot kill my pain
Cocaine cannot kill my pain
At least until these blues have gone
'Cause heroin is the only thing
Heroin is the only thing
