John Lee Hooker Kick Hit 4 Hit Kix U (Blues For Jimi And Janis) lyrics

Looka here, I'm gon' tell you a story
About two friends whom I known
And the whole world knowed 'em
The one and only, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin

Who passed on from the needle
They O.D.'d, ah what a big loss
To this wonderful world's sad

Dope addicts, dope addicts
You better watch yourself
Dope addicts, dope addicts
You got to watch yourself

You one of these days, one of these days
You might pass on
Stop shootin' no needle
And stop swallowin' that LSD

Stop shootin' no needles
And stop swallowin' in those pills
That needle's too heavy
Your heart can't take it none

Hey, hey,I know, so many young folks
They're hooked, they're doomed to die
So many young folks
They're hooked, they're doomed to die


You better try and kick it
But you can't last long this way
Yeah

Drug addict, drug addict
You better wake up and get wise
Drug addict, drug addict
You better wake up and get wise

Your days are numbered, your days are numbered
Your day you just don't know
You better try and kick it
You better try and kick it

That needle is too heavy for ya
It's too heavy, hey, it's too heavy
It's too heavy for your heart, for your heart
Hey, hey, it's too heavy, it's too heavy

You better kick it right now
I know you better kick it, I know it's hard
You better suffer and kick it
You better suffer and kick it
You got to suffer some to kick
Hey, it's too heavy for you
