I've been lucky enough in my life to not have suffered a serious drug addiction (except perhaps cigarettes which I quit at 30yo.) And yet the tragedy and drama outlined in this song never fails to move me. This is a real tribute to the artistry of Matt Mays. This song is fucking brilliant.

[@evanparrott6129]

I've been searching for this song for months, such an underrated song

[@Hillarynkyra3213]

I'm proud to be Nova Scotia strong. We have SO MUCH talent here in this province it's ridiculously brilliant. I can promise you a great time in Halifax. Every band at any bar here is great IMO.the 20$ cover charge is worth the money at any bar in Halifax.

[@mistersylliboy2690]

This song is one of those tunes that you blast on the trans-canada highway at 4 a.m and sing along with 😊

[@mystro4627]

This song is wicked!!! I've seen these guts and friends numerous times and always a great show great sound. My daughter introduced me years ago and now they've become a staple on my list. Thanks keep it up.

[@ronaldfournier3781]

This is a truly masterful and relevant song!!!!

[@nathanthapharmicist]

Yeah

[@runner4334]

One of my favs of all time. I live in NW Washington state and used to listen to a Victoria radio station that played the great Canadian musicians is why I found this classic. Thanks.

[@cliffordhamilton6737]

Look up Sloan or April wyne

[@mamefydyshyn7257]

Listen to July Talk, Metric, Broken Social Scene. So much Canadian talent.

[@krazejeff]

I would love to hear this song live like this, I think there is something about the power of this song. The acoustic version doesn't sound bad but this song absolutely kills it :)

I use to do this twice a week newspaper delivery job when i was teenager and the guy i was doing it asked me to help him for the nights because he had to deliver some very early ( different newpapers and this one is every single morning ) and i said yes and remember how i was stressed in the beginning but i quickly discovered music with him while i was in the back of his car rolling papers i remembr being hyped to wake up at 2 am waiting for him to come pick me up at my home and then we’ll be listening to good music until the sun comes up while doing his work mostly from (2 am to 7am) and then id always be trying to name every single band i knew or would just name random ones i thought could be and learned so much more in the process of doing so and remember some of these winter nights were rough and harsh but we passed though because of music kept us going , i remember always following drums with a rolled paper in my hand , he too showed me how to drive a car and then when i got my license few years later and i had enough money to buy a car i was now doing my own newspapers run every single morning like he did and was listening to those classics on the radio in the depths of the nights. I remember all of those nights ( it was a 7/7 day job ) and i really liked it and will forever be associating some of these songs to that specific point in my life , it was truly special, i miss this .

[@jimpett8802]

I spent a stint of thirty days in detox with a girl named Sara. That was 27 years ago. I play this song weekly. Never fails to draw a tear. Wonder is she is still alive. Addiction sucks.

[@thunderchicken6527]

This song hits different to begin with..put it on in my 78 Thunderbird flying down the highway at night under a full moon hits just as hard as well

[@Star_Wars_With_PercyMan]

Still one of my favorite tunes to this day, one of the most fun songs to play on a stage too. It’s got so much emotion, distorted guitar, cool breaks, great riffs and ends in an epic little guitar solo.

[@keithcampeau224]

i live in winnipeg and the AM station i listen to uses this song as this morning outro when their shift ends, funny to hear it on AM radio.

LYRICS ⬇️ Looking back, through the chapters of your life Searching for a storyline 'Cause the one you're leading now is doing nothing for you Say goodbye to your friends and the ones who love you Moving on JJ's song has been pushing you along Gypsy man on a one night stand Moving to the night far from the lights On an asphalt path drifting over the white line Gypsy man nobody knows Cocaine cowgirl, she's out catching eyes On the other end of the desert sky Taking you down to the dark side of town A dark side of town Cocaine cowgirl nobody knows Looking back, through the chapters of your life Searching for a storyline 'Cause any line is a good time for you Living what the World's been writing for you Cocaine cowgirl nobody knows 'Cause any line is a good time for you Living what the world has written for you Gypsy man nobody knows 'Cause any line is a good time for you Living what the world has written for you Cocaine cowgirl nobody knows

[@sheldoncaldwell1510]

They did not get the traction they deserved, quite a bit of it stems from timing, if this just came out and hit the radio waves in 2023 or the past few years where you CAN gain an audience from the armchair rather than 2005 when it was released , the outcome may have been different and the worst part of all that is what was actually on the radio waves at the time. We have to play X amount of Canadian content on the radio and if you were to go through the stations right now , I would bet dollars to doughnuts that you will hear one of the same 20 songs on repeat and they are good too , just overplayed. Similar Category as Big Sugar or The Headstones , amazing talent and not enough airplay. Just an opinion and not a fact

[@wadejones9613]

Sounds like Tom Petty ?

[@nitrousninja882]

The first time I heard "Cocaine Cowgirl" on the radio I thought it was Tom Petty.

[@stevetrosok9438]

I love this song from the first time I heard it. I started listening again because I expected it to be part of the cocaine bear movie soundtrack.
