“Karen, Leave Me Be!”

(Spoken Intro)

“Every town’s got a nosey Karen… and mine’s got 9-1-1 on speed dial! Ain’t no law ‘gainst a woman just tryin’ to be free!”

(Verse 1)

Well, it’s Saturday night, got my boots laced tight

Turned the music up, feelin’ just right

But here comes Karen, speed-walkin’ my way

With her phone in her hand like she’s savin’ the day

(Pre-Chorus)

She’s callin’ the cops ‘cause I played a few songs

Says my truck’s too loud, says my skirt’s too short

Lady, I ain’t breakin’ laws, I’m just livin’ my life

But you act like I’m out here committin’ a crime

(Chorus)

Oh, Karen, Karen, won’t you leave me be?

Ain’t no law ‘gainst a woman just tryin’ to be free

A little country music never hurt no soul

But you call 9-1-1 like I lost control

Oh, Karen, Karen, go take a step back

Go knit you a sweater, get your life on track

(Verse 2)

Ken’s on the porch lookin’ all uptight

Like he ain’t smiled since ‘89

They peek through the blinds like some daytime spies

Probably mad ‘cause my playlist is better than their lives

(Pre-Chorus)

They don’t like my truck, don’t like my dog

Said my backyard fire’s got too much smoke

But I work all week just to have my fun

Ain’t my fault they don’t like a little Shania and some sun

(Chorus)

Oh, Karen, Karen, won’t you leave me be?

Ain’t no law ‘gainst a woman just tryin’ to be free

A little country music never hurt no soul

But you call 9-1-1 like I lost control

Oh, Karen, Karen, go take a step back

Go knit you a sweater, get your life on track

(Bridge)

One day I swear, I’ll move far away

Where the beer’s ice cold and the nosy don’t stay

Where no one’s peepin’ every move I make

And Karen ain’t got nothin’ to say

(Chorus - Repeat)

Oh, Karen, Karen, won’t you leave me be?

Ain’t no law ‘gainst a woman just tryin’ to be free

A little country music never hurt no soul

But you call 9-1-1 like I lost control

Oh, Karen, Karen, go take a step back

Go knit you a sweater, get your life on track

(Outro - Spoken)

“Bless your heart, Karen… but girl, you gotta go and find a new hobby!”
