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
