lyrics

DO YOUR THING

I don't care what trip you're on
Just don't park it on my lawn
Do your thing but don't touch mine
And we'll get along just fine

Don't you try to tell me what to do
I'm not livin' in your zoo
If you know what's good for you
Don't you try to tell me what to do

I don't care what trip you're on
Just don't park it on my lawn
Do your thing but don't touch mine
And we'll get along just fine

Don't go messin' with my stuff
Or you'll find the goin' rough
I'll tell you twice then that's enough
Don't go messin' with my stuff

I don't care what trip you're on
Just don't park it on my lawn
Do your thing but don't touch mine
And we'll get along just fine

If you don't like me that's okay
I don't expect it anyway
I wrote this song so I could say
If you don't like me that's okay

'Cause I don't care what trip you're on
Just don't park it on my lawn
Do your thing but don't touch mine
And we'll get along just fine
Yeah do your thing but don't touch mine
And we'll get along just fine

A Man Who's Never Plowed
by The Trey Ward Band

Trey is one of my favorite songwriters, and the pickers he gathered together for this project take a bluegrass backseat to nobody...plus he cut one of my songs (but I'm not the least bit biased). Kurt Fortmeyer
