Cocaine Charlie

Lyrics

He had an eye for pretty women A taste for good cocaine A fool for easy money A good time was his game I never saw him worry He took it one day at a time And lived the way he wanted to Until the day he died Cocaine Charlie, a dealer in ecstasy Cocaine Charlie, the life of the party Now he ain't nothin' but a memory Cocaine Charlie, a victim of the seventies On the south side of Atlanta In the Escapade Motel A sweet young thing from Sandy Springs Was under Charlie's spell He never heard the pistol cock He was caught up in romance A jealous boyfriend shot him dead He never had a chance Cocaine Charlie, a victim of ecstasy Cocaine Charlie, the life of the party, yes, he was Now he ain't nothin' but a memory Cocaine Charlie, a victim of the seventies Whoa, Charlie Cocaine Charlie, a dealer in ecstasy Cocaine Charlie, the life of the party, yeah Now he ain't nothin' but a memory Cocaine Charlie, may he rest in peace Rest in peace, Charles
