LEAVE IT ALONE
there's nothing left inside me honey
you can call your own
no one you can talk to here
no place that feels like home
you better leave it alone
you better leave it all alone
there's nothing left that I possess
you'll ever want to steal
no landmark you can recognize
no bargain no good deal
you better leave it alone
you better leave it all alone
(chorus)
because we don't want to press our luck
maybe make that well run dry
you know we both been betting on rain
but there ain't a cloud in the sky
so how can I convince you
you'll be richer by yourself
your good faith only makes me poor
please spend it someplace else
I got no good dreams to paint your sleep
no place to rest your head
tonight you better go on home
and cry in your own bed
we better leave it alone
we better leave it all alone
how many tough miles have we traveled
like bandits side by side
now our boots are wearing thin
we're feeling so dissatisfied
we better leave it alone
we better leave it all alone
(chorus)
the next time I think of you
I'll be staying in a blue motel
I"ll wonder about how you're cutting your hair
I'll probably even wish you well
let's leave it alone
let's leave it all alone
the carnival is leaving town
we never got to go
but I've been your fire eater
you've been my whole Goddamn sideshow
let's leave it alone
why don't we leave it all alone
(chorus)
