lyrics

They were living in a small town
Just north of Spokane
When her father got arrested
For selling cocaine

When the judge said 15 years
Her whole family almost went totally insane

Her mother had six hungry young mouths to feed
Many were the nights when there was barely enough to eat
They had the welfare check
Like a weight around their neck
To try and make ends meet.

Her father was sweeping up at the steel mill
Barely made enough for rent and three meals
When a friend said, Ed, come on let's get real
And do this deal.

They were living at the border line
Between trouble, no hope, and lose your mind
God only knows how they find the strength
To make it to quitting time

Sweet cocaine
Sweet music for your brain
It's such a God damned shame
Cocaine, cocaine, cocaine.
