I wish the governor Would just leave the poor man alone He's messing up my home I wish the governor y'all Would just leave the poor man alone He's screwing up my home You know my taxes are gettin' too high I can't pay the rent Oh Lord, how can I make it by? My woman wanna leave They cut off the phone Now I got to spend all of my nights alone I wish the governor would leave me alone He's messing up my home I wish the governor y'all Would just leave the poor man alone He's messing up my home I went down to the grocery store They got a food tax I got to sleep on the floor Tired of workin' three jobs But I know the governor He ain't got it so hard, so hard I wish the governor (Oh Lord)
Would just leave me alone (I'm doing alright out here by myself) I wish the governor (Would get his hands out of my pocket) Would just leave me alone I ain't bothering nobody (Here we go) I wish the governor All you folks down there in Washington DC I wish you would just leave me alone You know I need to go to work And get some money for the baby I wish the governor All y'all up on capitol hill I know you gettin' your thrills But I just want you to leave me alone Me and my cat and my dog And my car in the garage Just leave us alone You know I get nervous Hey, hey, hey, hey Leave my mother and my brother Why don't you just leave us alone I'm gonna say goodbye now
