[Intro]

This is something called "Brownstone"


[Verse 1]

I get up around 7

Get outta bed around 9

And I don't worry about nothin', no

Because worrying's a waste of my time


[Verse 2]

Show usually starts around 7

We go on stage around 9

Get on the bus about 11

Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine


[Chorus]

We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone

He's been knockin', he won't leave me alone

Woah, no, no, woah, he won't leave me alone


[Pre-Chorus]

I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do it

So the little got more and more

I just kept tryna get a little better

Little better than before

Used to do a little but a little wouldn't do it

Little got more and more

Just kept tryna get a little better

Said, a little better than before


[Chorus]

We've been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone

He's been knocking, he won't leave me alone

Woah, no, no, he won't leave me alone

Huh!


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]

Now I get up around whenever

I used to get up on time

But that old man, he's a real motherfucker

Gonna kick him on down the line


[Pre-Chorus]

I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do it

Little got more and more

I just kept tryna get a little better

Said, a better than before

I used to do a little but a little wouldn't do it

Little got more and more

I just kept tryna get a little better

Said, a little better than before


[Chorus]

Been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone

He's been knocking, motherfucker, motherfucker won't leave me alone

Oh, no, oh, he won't leave me alone

Oh, leave me alone


[Outro]

Stuck it in the bindle and I shot it in the middle

And it drove outta my mind

I shoulda known better, said, I wish I never met her

Said, I leave it all behind

Yowza

This is somethin', uh

That the rest of the band put together

Ended up bein' a lot of fun

With Mr. Izzy Stradlin takin' the lead on vocals

Mr. Invisible of GNR

This is somethin' we, uh, call "Dust N' Bones"

Should've made me that list, homes
