Cocaine Country Dancing
Paul Cauthen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Roll up to the club in my 1964 Caddy
Straight ready to stunt
At a quarter to one
Just a-looking for fun

I said, a-twist for me, baby
Hit a rip for me, baby
Take another shot, get lit for me baby, ooh-wee
It's a quarter to two
What you wanna do?

Cocaine country dancing with you
I think a bit of cocaine country dancing will do

Come on let's get it going
Only you can keep me rolling
At a quarter to three
You know what I need

Well I'll twist for you, baby
Hit a rip for you, baby
Take another shot, get lit for you baby
It's a quarter to four
Do we have anymore?

Cocaine country dancing with you
Cocaine country dancing will do

It's a quarter to one, been looking for fun
It's a quarter to two, what you wanna do?
It's a quarter to three, you know what I need
It's a quarter to four, do we have anymore?

Cocaine country dancing with you, dancing with you
I think a bit of cocaine country dancing will do

Cocaine country dancing with you
Dancing with you
Dancing with you
(Dancing with you, you, you)
Dancing with you (you, you, you)
(Dancing with you, you, you)




Dancing with you (you, you, you)
Dancing with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Paul Cauthen's "Cocaine Country Dancing" describe a reckless and wild night out on the town, fueled by drugs and alcohol. The singer rolls up to the club in his old-school Cadillac, ready to show off and have some fun. He meets a woman and asks her to dance and do some lines of cocaine with him, and the two of them continue to party and indulge in drugs and alcohol throughout the night. The chorus repeats the phrase "cocaine country dancing," emphasizing the dangerous and illicit nature of the activities they are engaging in.


The song's lyrics suggest a sense of rebellion and an embrace of reckless behavior, with the singer proudly boasting about his drug and alcohol use. However, the lyrics also hint at a sense of desperation and a desire to escape from reality through these activities. The repetition of the phrase "what you wanna do?" suggests a lack of direction or purpose in the singer's life, and his willingness to engage in dangerous activities may reflect a desire to numb his pain or evade responsibility.


Overall, "Cocaine Country Dancing" is a gritty and provocative exploration of the dark side of party culture, where drugs and alcohol are used as tools for escapism and self-destruction.

I sent this shit to friends myself and they dont like it about as much as I really dont like them. Only things my friends have in common with me is the amount of beer we drink.
