Don't Play Around - Malcolm Holcombe, Tony Joe White, Futureman

Mcmurtry don’t play around like i use to

When push comes to shove

Gotta keep my mouth shut

Baby how 'bout you

Mathew spends them nickles and dimes

Like hundred dollar bills

Helpin' babies too special for crazy

Government deals

Ain’t a state in the union 'been crusin' thru

On easy street

Fuckin' damn frackin' and backroom stabbin'

Knocks me down on my knees

Mcmurtry don’t play around like i use to

When push comes to shove

Gotta keep my mouth shut

How 'bout you

California wanna be’s and midwest muscles

Stick close to the ground

Feedin' the famine in my backyard

Non profit town

Nine miles deep there’s a pile o' cash

Headin' overseas

Gotta fill up my tank shake hands at the bank

Goin' back east

Mcmurtry don’t play around like i use to

When push comes to shove

Gotta keep my mouth shut

How 'bout you

Annie’s settin' in jail for another twelve years

Yaknow it coulda been me

Damn drugs and guns and one night lovin' gonna set you free

Harry’s born ready for the end o' time

He’s a millionaire

When they come up from atlanta to steal his food

You gonna feel the fire

Mcmurtry don’t play around like i use to

When push comes to shove

Gotta keep my mouth shut

How 'bout you

She was only fourteen in '65

You know a change is comin'

Twenty-six stiches in the back o' her head

On a bridge in selma

Mcmurtry don’t play around like i use to

When push comes to shove

Better keep my mouth shut

How 'bout you

Mcmurtry don’t play around like i use to

When push comes to shove

I better keep my mouth shut

And you

And you
