[Start] [Intro – Loose Banjo Skank / Heavy BeachGrass Bass] Bro, calm down I don’t wanna fight you Sun still shining Ain’t nothing here worth fighting through Bro, calm down Put them shoulders back at ease I just smoked half a joint And I’m trying to enjoy this breeze [Verse 1] You puffing up your chest Over something somebody said I’m trying hard to follow But I lost the plot instead You stepping up all angry I’m stepping back on purpose Fighting seems like lots of work For very little service I’d have to put my drink down Might lose a decent buzz Get grass stains on my good shorts Explain what all this was And brother, I am getting old My knees already click I could swing on you, I reckon But tomorrow gonna hurt like shit [Pre-Chorus] So take a little walk Let the hot blood cool We could settle this with words Like moderately evolved fools [Chorus] Bro, calm down I don’t wanna fight you Too much work And I got better things to do Bro, calm down Ain’t scared, just choosing peace Got a little green waiting And a hammock underneath the trees Bro, calm down We can let this whole thing slide You keep your teeth I keep my evening Everybody leaves alright [Verse 2] My woman don’t like violence And I rather like that girl Her opinion carries weight In my particular little world She don’t wanna get a phone call Saying, “Baby, come get me” ’Cause some fool turned an argument Into county property And I been behind them bars before That room got terrible vibes No porch, no beach, no decent smoke And far too many guys I ain’t going back to jail Over whatever bothered you I got snacks back at the house And tomorrow things to do [Pre-Chorus] So unclench them hands Let your eyebrows come back down There ain’t a trophy waiting For the angriest man in town [Chorus] Bro, calm down I don’t wanna fight you Too much work And I got better things to do Bro, calm down Ain’t scared, just choosing peace Got a little green waiting And a hammock underneath the trees Bro, calm down We can let this whole thing slide You keep your teeth I keep my evening Everybody leaves alright [Verse 3] Plus my shoulder been complaining And my lower back got views Think arthritis sent a letter Saying, “Boy, I’m coming through” I stretch before I mow now Make noises when I stand You really want me throwing punches? That was not today’s plan I was gonna smoke a little Maybe grill a piece of fish Pick some banjo by the water That’s the whole damn list Now you got me doing cardio In footwear built to chill Brother, all this confrontation Is attacking my goodwill [Break – Groove Pulls Back] Ain’t weakness walking backward When forward leads to dumb Ain’t cowardice to notice What tomorrow might become I got somebody who loves me I got places left to see Got too much good ahead To trade it for stupidity So breathe before you choose What kind of night this gonna be I already chose peace Please choose it here with me [Final Chorus] Bro, calm down I don’t wanna fight you Too much work And I got better things to do Bro, calm down I got nothing here to prove We could both go home uninjured That seems like the smarter move Bro, calm down We can let this whole thing slide You keep your teeth I keep my evening Everybody leaves alright [Outro – Full Band Driving] So calm down Back up Let that foolish feeling pass I got love waiting at home And a little something in the grass I got old knees Good weed And adventures coming up I have tried real hard To tell you, friend— I do not wanna fight you. [pause] But if you make me fight you... I’ll fuck you the FUCK up! [Hard Banjo Hit] ... walk away friend...walk away. [End]
