[Verse 1]

I'm sittin' here in my cell

My head a-hurts like hell

My mouth's so dry I can't spit

Oh Lord, I wish I had another hit

[Chorus]

I'm hooked, and I don't know why

I'm hooked, Lord, I wish I could die

[Verse 2]

There's someone sittin' in the cell next to me

I don't know who it is, I just can't see

I wish my mother was here right now

A-she could help, but I don't know how

[Chorus]

I'm hooked, and I don't know why

I'm hooked, oh Lord, I wish I could die

[Verse 3]

Cold turkey is a terrible thing

It is filled with nothing but pain

My head's so bad I could cry

Oh Lord, I just wanna die

[Chorus]

I'm hooked, and I don't know why

I'm hooked, oh God, I just wanna die
