well i partied with some crazy calgary cowgirls 

we ripped and snorted, kicked our heels and then 

two told me they got olde tyme religion 

one says she'll never barrel race again 

good copenhagen is better than bad cocaine 


i spent some time with texas dave mcdaniel 

dippin snuff at nine and drinkin beer by noon 

he'd tell me about the bulls he'd rode in waco 

by nitefall he'd be howlin at the moon 

howlin good copenhagen is better than bad cocaine 


look out for them wranglers out in longview 

with the left, back pocket worn out of their jeans 

they can get you high up in the rockies 

so you ain't never comin' down again 

good copenhagen is better than bad cocaine 


i knowed about an old alberta oilman 

chewed a tin a day till he was ninety two 

he passed away a true western original 

near the end he liked it sprinkled on his food 

he knew that good copenhagen is better than bad cocaine
