Singing of addictions…

Did you forget Hoyt Axton, Snowblind Friend?

You say it was this morning when you last saw your good friend
Lyin’ on the pavement with a misery on his brain
Stoned on some new potion he found upon the wall
Of some unholy bathroom in some ungodly hall
He only had a dollar to live on ’til next Monday
But he spent it on some comfort for his mind
Did you say you think he’s blind?

Someone should call his parents, a sister or a brother
And they’ll come to take him back home on a bus
But he’ll always be a problem to his poor and puzzled mother
Yeah he’ll always be another one of us
He said he wanted Heaven but prayin’ was too slow
So he bought a one way ticket on an airline made of snow
Did you say you saw your good friend flyin’ low?
Flyin’ low
Dyin’ slow

Must also not forget John Gorka’s Saint Caffeine:

I’ve seen the light, oh the light I’ve seen
I’ve seen the light of St. Caffeine
Of other drugs I am clean
I pray to you St. Caffeine

Yes I am a legal fiend
It’s my high in the mean routine
Cola nut or coffee bean
I pray to you St. Caffeine

I stayed away as a teen
When hormones filled up my jeans
Ever since my sleep got lean
I took to you St. Caffeine

You help me through the morning
Help me into the afternoon
Being calm is boring
I’d be snoring without you

I wear your ring around my cup
I pour you down, I drink you up
When I’m running out of steam
I pray to you St. Caffeine

Ry Cooder is so under rated, that slide tone is amazing!
