Mr. Brownstone Lyrics
[Guitar Intro]
[Verse 1]
I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And I don't worry about nothin', no
Because worrying's a waste of my time
[Verse 2]
Show usually starts around seven
We go on stage around nine
Get on the bus about eleven
Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine
[Chorus]
We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin', he won't leave me alone
No, no, no, oh, he won't leave me alone
[Bridge]
I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to 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 tryin' to get a little better
Said, a little better than before
[Chorus]
We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin', he won't leave me alone
No, no, no, oh, he won't leave me alone
Wow
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to 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 tryin' to get a little better
Said, a little better than before
[Chorus]
We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin', he won't leave me alone
No, no, no, oh, he won't leave me alone, never
Oh, leave me alone
[Outro]
Stuck it in the bindle, and I shot it in the middle
And it, it drove me outta my mind
I shoulda known better, said I wish I never met her
Said I, I leave it all behind
Yowza
