The differences in the versions are interesting, particularly at the end: 'Drink all you want to but let that cocaine be' versus 'Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be'.

That ending is interesting. Having used whiskey and cocaine myself, I think the best advice is to stay away from both. Too bad I didn’t always take that advice myself

Not sure I've ever heard this one. Nice! Love hearing this as a big fan of Johnny Cash and his version from Live at Folsom
