[Verse]I did a one night stand in PhoenixAt a rundown dirty barAnd as I stumbled off the stageAn old man grabbed my guitarHe said, "son I'm glad I caught your showI really dig your soundBut you may never get your chanceIf you don't slow down"[Chorus]I said I'm hopped up on the cocaineShootin' whiskey feelin' no painNeed a handful of pillsJust to get back downHalf a bottle of George DickelAnd fully loaded pistolScares off all the demonsEvery time they come aroundI've lost track of all the womenCan't get back what I been spendin'That's just the cost of livin'More than one year at a time[Verse]Well he was standin' in the shadowsHe fired up a cigaretteIt was like I'd always known himEven though we'd never metThere was something so familiarThat old six string in his handBut then his words cut through the smokeHe said I understand, son[Chorus]Lord I'm hopped up on the cocaineShootin' whiskey feelin' no painNeed a handful of pillsJust to get back downHalf a bottle of George DickelAnd fully loaded pistolScares off all the demonsEvery time they come aroundI've lost track of all the womenCan't get back what I been spendin'That's just the cost of livin'More than one year at a time[Guitar Solo][Verse]Well I got an ice cold eerie feelinWhen I recognized that manHe said Hoss Lord this outlaw bidCan sure get out of hand[Chorus]When you're hopped up on the cocaineShootin' whiskey feelin' no painNeed a handful of pillsJust to get back downHalf a bottle of George DickelAnd fully loaded pistolScares off all the demonsEvery time they come aroundI've lost track of all the womenCan't get back what I been spendin'That's just the cost of livin'More than one year at a timeMore than one year at a timeYeeaaaah, yeah, yeah, aw awwwwYeah, yeah
