Light Up or Leave Me Alone

LIGHT UP OR LEAVE ME ALONE (Outlaw Acid Cowboy) Verse 1 You been circlin’ my orbit like a broken satellite Static in my head every single night You don’t like my boots, don’t like my tone Don’t like the way I hum when I’m alone You say I smell like gasoline and sin Well baby that’s the road I’m ridin’ in I ain’t built for lectures carved in stone ⸻ Chorus So light up or leave me alone Spark that thing or head on home I ain’t got time for your thundercloud tone Light up… or leave me alone Either dance in the fire Or get off the throne Light up… Or leave me alone ⸻ Verse 2 You criticize my cosmic ways My midnight drives and neon haze Say my mind’s out past the moon Like that’s some kind of doom You call it reckless, I call it free You call it crazy, I call it me I don’t need another chaperone ⸻ Chorus So light up or leave me alone Strike that match or roll on I ain’t carryin’ both our stones Light up… or leave me alone ⸻ Bridge (Trippy Breakdown Section) Steel guitar bends like a UFO sigh Snare drum echoes through the diamond sky My brain just lifted off Highway Nine Thoughts driftin’ through space and time You can float beside me Or stay earthbound and moan But I ain’t shrinkin’ down To fit your comfort zone ⸻ Final Chorus (Big Southern Rock Lift) So light up or leave me alone Turn that spark into a cyclone I’m ridin’ wild and I’m fully grown Light up… or leave me alone I ain’t fightin’ ghosts I didn’t own Light up… Or leave me alone ⸻ Outro (Spoken, man-deep) You can’t nag a cowboy into orbit. You either ride… or watch the tail lights fade.
