Gourds – Lament lyrics
[Spoken Intro: Kevin Russell]
My Uncle Jimmy also lives next door to a church of Christ. And the preacher would come over sometimes and he'd always hide his beer and his cigarettes, so I wrote a song about it
[Verse 1: Kevin Russell]
I could tell you that I was a Christian
And I don't guess that would be a lie
I could tell you that I's church of Christ
And I don't guess you could prove me wrong
[Chorus: Kevin Russell]
So don't trouble no policeman
He's got a wife and kids of his own
And don't trouble your neighbors
'Cause they just want to be left alone
[Verse 2: Kevin Russell]
I suppose if I was a demon
I might have bugs all over my legs
And it might make sense for me tangle
With my wife for awhile
[Chorus: Kevin Russell]
So don't trouble no policeman
He's got a wife and kids of his own
And don't trouble your neighbors
'Cause they just want to be left alone
[Outro: Kevin Russell]
Lord ain't this nation lonely
Lord ain't this nation lonely
Lord ain't this nation lonely
Lord ain't this nation lonely
