Well, I wish I had some heroin to make me feel so good
And I'd go downtown to the dealer man and buy some if I could
And hang out with my junkie friends like the loser that I am
If I only had some heroin, I'd be a happy man
Well, when I was a baby sucking my mother's breast
I said, hmmm, this is mighty nice, snuggled against her chest
But now that I'm a full grown man, no one to hold me tight
I need a little heroin to help me through the night, yeah
Oh, well, I never get no kisses and I sure don't get no hugs
I just sit around with my buddies and we all do lots of drugs
And talk about the good old days, when we were fine young men
Hear my cry, I wanna get high, I want some heroin, yeah
Well, I was raised in the Baptist Church, where everything's a sin
Well, I had it all, to do over, well, I'd do it all again
I know that Jesus loves me and I'm know that he's my friend
But he can't help me near as much as a balloon of heroin, Amen
Well, I wish I had some heroin to make me feel so good
I'd go downtown to the dealer man and buy some if I could
Hang out with my junkie friends like the loser that I am
If I only had some heroin, I'd be a happy man, yee-haw
