Champion Jack Dupree lyrics

Can't Kick The Habit blues lyrics

Well I can't kick this habit
and this junk is killin' me
Yes I can't kick this habit
and that junk is killin' me
Ever since I started this habit
Everything been down on me
I hung around my friends and smoked reefer
and I thought I was doin' all right
Yes I hung around my friends and smoked reefer
and I thought I was doin' all right
Now I done lost a good woman
And I have no place to sleep at night
Well I went to the doctor
see could he cure this habit for me
Yes I went to the doctor
see could he cure this habit for me
He looked at me and shook his head
And said that dope is killin' me
(guitar solo, spoken:)
Yes I know it's killin' me...
but I feel good anyhow...
wished I would have listened to what my mother said...
she told me that dope was no good...
I didn't pay her no mind, I thought I was doin' all right...
now I'm stayin' here as sick as I can be...
It don't pay nobody
just to live their life so fast
It don't pay nobody, whoooo
just to live, to live their life so fast
If you just take it slow and easy
Just as long as this habit last
