Bales of Cocaine Songtext
von Reverend Horton Heat

Well, I was workin′ on my farm 'bout 1982,
Pullin′ up some corn and a little carrot, too
When two low-flying aeroplanes, 'bout a hundred feet high
Dropped a bunch o' bales o′ somethin′, some hit me in the eye...

So I cut a bale open, an' man was I surprised
Bunch o′ large sized baggies, with big white rocks inside
So I took a little sample to my crazy brother Joe
He sniffed it up and kicked his heels, said, "Horton, that's some blow!"

Bales of cocaine, fallin′ from low-flyin' plane
I don′t know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin′ like the pourin′ rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes


So I loaded up them bales in my pick-em-up truck,
Headed west for Dallas, where I would try my luck
I didn′t have a notion if I could sell 'em there,
But, thirty minutes later, I was a millionaire...

Bales of cocaine, fallin′ from low-flyin' plane
I don′t know who done dropped 'em, but I thank 'em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin′ like the pourin′ rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes

And now I am a rich man, but I′m still a farmer, too
But I sold my farm in Texas, bought a farm down in Peru
And when get so homesick, I think I'm goin′ insane,
I travel back to Texas in a low-flyin' plane...

Bales of cocaine, fallin′ from low-flyin' plane
I don't know who done dropped ′em, but I thank ′em just the same
Bales of cocaine, fallin' like the pourin′ rain
My life changed completely by the low-flyin' planes
