This whole world is makin' me mean
Oh Father Time, the endless fiend
His youngest daugher, she broke me in two
One's half a man, the other's a fool
But cocaine, like an achy heart
Is gonna kill ya, honey why'd you start
And all day you're just lookin for that miracle drug
Spent a day under the fruit tree
I've seen a lot of fruits, but none like these
Wait for them to fall on your head
Feelin sleepy, gettin close to death
But whiskey, like an achy heart
Is gonna kill me, honey why'd I start
And all day I'm just lookin for that miracle drug
Find me a river to jump into
Down at the bottom find a diamond like you
Hold my breath, true and well
Which way is up or down, I cannot tell
But that woman is gonna break your heart
And they try to warm ya, but you're gonna start, and then
All day you're just lookin for that miracle drug
