Leave that junk alone
Leave that junk alone
Leave that junk alone
And drink cool H2O
Well, me and a couple of good ol' boys
Took a taxi ride downtown
Were checking out a honky tonks
Waiting for the man to come around
Lined up ten tequilas
Lined up a 20 chase of beer
Put the glatter on the bar-maid
Said, "Don't you ever come back in here"
And 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
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
And Johnny said, "Well, 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
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"
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)
Drink cool H2O
