David Alan Parton - Don't Bring It Up Lyrics

You've known me
For a lifetime
And all the things I done
But it only takes
A few beer
To loosen up your tongue

I hoped I'd
Reinvent myself
Leave my past behind
But you keep
Vending yesterdays
And steal my peace of mind

So don't bring it up
You'll bring me down
I know you just
Want to see me blush
But I won't be your clown
You like to make me
The laughingstock
At every party in town
So don't bring it up
You'll bring me down

Those old stories
Of days of glory
Are really
Best unheard
But you cannot
Keep a secret
You cannot
Keep your word

So don't bring it up
You'll bring me down
I know you just
Want to see me blush
But I won't be your clown
You like to make me
The laughingstock
At every party in town
So don't bring it up
You'll bring me down

I met this honey
She was right
On the money
So I thought I would
Pitch me some woo
But you came along
And dropped that bomb
Now I sing
The heartsick blues

So don't bring it up
You'll bring me down
I know you just
Want to see me blush
But I won't be your clown
You like to make me
The laughingstock
At every party in town
So don't bring it up
You'll bring me down
Don't bring it up
You'll bring me down
