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
