"Leave That Mess Alone" lyrics
Liquor bottles up, the party going
And when it's bottom up, let's go another round
Liquor bottles up, the party going
And when it's bottom up, let's go another round
I guess she heard through the grapevine
That I was the kind that like to take off at midnight
Ducking the law and any one that's at church
Sunday morning
Want you keep your mouth shut
If you sittin' next to mama
'Cause I'm bout to catch a flight
One way, first class
But the only way back to the ground is to crash
Guess I'm living life
Like I'm in a 100 yard dash
But I can't let hangovers kick my ass
Boy it's 'bout time you settled down
And pick your name on up off the ground
I got what you need right here at home
You had good long run of fun
But you can't party on the sun
And expect to live
Live until your grown
You better leave that mess alone
Listen I fought the law
But the law said son
That woman's gonna leave ya if you keep on screwing up
Just like a Pall Mall
Smoked down to the butt
Gonna whined up in the can
'Cause you know your times up
Like 3-2-1 that's a free-fall jump
Where you don't come back until the dealing gets done
Not a day goes bye you don't think about why
In the hell you didn't listen to your wife
Boy it's 'bout time you settled down
And pick your name on up off the ground
I got what you need right here at home
You had good long run of fun
But you can't party on the sun
And expect to live
Live until your grown
You better leave that mess alone
Leave it alone that's what they say but I'm gonna try this other way
Another town, another round, I live to see another day
Sometimes this life just makes me sick
I burnt this candle to the wick
I got to go get that fix now hold up while I get there quick
And boys are boys and come to play don't worry 'bout what the numbers say
I was just like you young n dumb way back in my younger days
What matters most is the man you are when you lay down your head
I listened to the preacher man and this is what he said
Boy it's 'bout time you settled down
And pick your name on up off the ground
I got what you need right here at home
You had good long run of fun
But you can't party on the sun
And expect to live
Live until your grown
You better leave that mess alone
And when it's bottom up, let's go another round
Liquor bottles up, the party going
And when it's bottom up, let's go another round
I guess she heard through the grapevine
That I was the kind that like to take off at midnight
Ducking the law and any one that's at church
Sunday morning
Want you keep your mouth shut
If you sittin' next to mama
'Cause I'm bout to catch a flight
One way, first class
But the only way back to the ground is to crash
Guess I'm living life
Like I'm in a 100 yard dash
But I can't let hangovers kick my ass
Boy it's 'bout time you settled down
And pick your name on up off the ground
I got what you need right here at home
You had good long run of fun
But you can't party on the sun
And expect to live
Live until your grown
You better leave that mess alone
Listen I fought the law
But the law said son
That woman's gonna leave ya if you keep on screwing up
Just like a Pall Mall

Gonna whined up in the can
'Cause you know your times up
Like 3-2-1 that's a free-fall jump
Where you don't come back until the dealing gets done
Not a day goes bye you don't think about why
In the hell you didn't listen to your wife
Boy it's 'bout time you settled down
