Lyrics

Mr. Brownstone

I get up around seven
Get out of bed around nine
I don't worry about nothing, no
Because worry's a waste of my time

Show usually starts around seven
We go on stage around nine
Get on the bus about eleven
Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine

We've been dancing with
Mister Brownstone
He's been knocking
He won't leave me alone
No, no, no
He won't leave me alone

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it, so the little got more and more
"I just keep tryna get a little better", said a little better than before

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it, so the little got more and more
"I just keep tryna get a little better", said a little better than before

We've been dancing with
Mister Brownstone
He's been knocking
He won't leave me alone
No, no, no
He won't leave me alone

Now, I get up around whenever
I used to get up on time
But that old man, he's a real motherfucker
Gonna kick him on down the line

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it, so the little got more and more
"I just keep tryna get a little better", said a little better than before

I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it, so the little got more and more
"I just keep tryna get a little better", said a little better than before

We've been dancing with
Mister Brownstone
He's been knocking
He won't leave me alone
No, no, no
He won't leave me alone

Oh, leave me alone

Stuck it in the middle and I shot it in the middle and it
It drove outta my mind
"I should've known better", said I wish I never met her
Said I leave it all behind
Yowsa!
