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