DON'T BRING IT AROUND ANYMORE
(Gary Nicholson / John McEuen / Marshall Morgan / Nancy Montgomery)


Waylon Jennings - 1985



Well I've been a fool for far too long
I've been lost to temptation, now I'm tryin' to be strong
Just when I think I finally got it in control again
You come bowlin' through the door with all your wild and crazy friends

Don't bring it around anymore, Lord knows I've had enough
I've been down to the bottom, now I'm tryin' to get back up
I don't care if it's green, keep it away from me
Don't bring it around no more, don't bring it around no more

I've told everyone I know that I'm cleanin' up my act
Now all my friends have taken this, they're ain't no turnin' back
Girl, you make it hard on me the way you carry on
If you don't try to give it up, I'm better off alone

Don't bring it around anymore, Lord knows I've had enough
I've been down to the bottom, now I'm tryin' to pull up
I don't care if it's green, keep it away from me
Don't bring it around no more, don't bring it around no more

(Instrumental Break)

Well, you've dragged me to a party and you wanta stay up late
But it's hard to keep awake when you're the only one that's straight
Your brother from Miami is more than I can stand
Wish that he'd just go back home and take that contraband

Don't bring it around anymore, Lord knows I've had enough
I've been down to the bottom, now I'm tryin' to pull up
I don't care if it's green, keep it away from me
Don't bring it around no more, don't bring it around no more

Don't bring it around anymore, Lord knows I've had enough
I've been down to the bottom and I'm tryin' to pull up
I don't care if it's green, keep it away from me
Don't bring it around no more, don't bring it around no more
Don't bring it around anymore
