From the highly controversial 2009 album Johnny Cash Remixed. ------------------------------ Alabama 3’s lyrics were difficult to transcribe but I got them all save for one word! ------------------------------ CHORUS: Leave that junk alone Leave that junk alone Leave that junk alone And drink cool H2O VERSE 1: Well me and a couple of good ol’ boys Took a taxi ride downtown Were checking out a honkytonks Waiting for the man to come around Lined up ten tequilas Lined up a twenty chase of beer Put the (glata???) on the barmaid Said "Don’t you ever come back in here!" CHORUS: Johnny said Drink water Lord that liquor is hot drink water Please Johnny just a one more shot Drink water Lord that liquor is hot drink water Somebody took the bottle top off VERSE 2: We would shoot a bitch our stares Acutely aware of the state we was in Met a nun called Mary in a strip joint Said she’d guide us through the city of sin Bought a thousand Marlboro Reds We got a quart of Bombay gin Looking for salvation in some out-of-town Comfort Inn Then Johnny busted down the door King James Bible in his hand Eyes burning with a rapture He’d seen the angels in the Promised Land Well I could hear that train a-comin’ Lord My mind was going ’round the bend The good ol’ boys put the bottle top on the floor They’d never touch a drop again BRIDGE: Johnny said Your eyes are baggy and a bloodshot red It’s been a week or two since you’ve been in bed You better pay attention now to what I said You better leave that junk alone and drink water You come home feeling for the knob on the door You better pick up your feet you’re gonna fall on the floor I keep on telling you I’ll tell you some more You better leave that junk alone and drink water Now I’ll forgive you for your running around If you just promise that you’ll come unwound I’ll buy you anything you want in town If you’ll leave that junk alone CHORUS: Leave that junk alone (and drink water) Leave that junk alone Leave that junk alone (and drink water) And drink cool H2O Leave that junk alone (and drink water) Leave that junk alone Leave that junk alone (and drink water) And drink cool H... 2O
