Let Me Tell You Something - Lera Lynn

Let me tell you something kid, you got a lot to learn

This ain’t what you think it is no, this whole thing about to burn

It’s junkyard slave to oil and rust

It’ll eat you clean of hope and trust

I’ll tell you something kid, if I was you I’d run

Straight to the other side to full-time job and part-time fun

And you can save yourself the struggle, the climb-up jig-saw puzzle

The never knowing how to hustle, only how to get yourself in trouble

Oh, if I was you

I’d try for the simple life

Just love and sleeping through the night

I’d play it on the safer side

Keep it simple, babe, make it easy

I’ll tell you something kid, you’re certainly ambitious

But if I was you I’d get a useful job in maybe business

Cause what you feel don’t matter, everybody’s got something to say but

Nobody’s got the time to listen to it anyway

And I’ll tell you something else, time will set you free

No more caring what they think, no more chasing your vanity

But if you ever get the chance to slip through the cracks, well

Take that money straight to the bank baby, no never ever look back

Still, if I was you

I’d try for the simple life

Just love and sleeping through the night

I’d play it on the safer side

Keep it simple, babe, make it easy
