Story Behind The Song

I just let my hand go by itself and a few lines of this lyric came out. It's good to know that's the type of thing swimming in my head waiting to get out.

Song Description

A don't mess around tune

Lyrics

The Foot

He got a devil on his shoulder
And as he gets older, baby, it gets meaner
God knows how long his angel?s been gone
It?s been years since he seen her
So messing with his mess
Might not be the best course you can take
And if that thought crosses your mind
That?s just a sign it?s time to take a break
So don?t go stepping on the toes
Of anyone who knows what fails and what passes
But if you decide to cross that line, well that?s fine
The Foot Knows Where Your Ass Is

Now to tell you the truth
In the days of his youth he had a nicer disposition
Always trying to spread joy to all the girls and boys
Now he?s on a different mission
He once was a legend
Always skirting the edge
And now he?s just a rumor
He was hip, he was flip, he was quick with a quip
Now he don?t see the humor
So don?t you go around making fun
Of anyone who can find greener grasses
But if you decide to cross that line, well that?s fine
The Foot Knows Where Your Ass Is

Upon further reflection
You?ll need introspection and total concentration
So you won?t be the kind of person who always worsens
Any given situation
Cause he?s got this simple minded notion
There?s too much commotion passing as essential
And when he thinks about the things we gotta do without
He gets a little mental
So I would save that finger
For those who would bring you rose-colored glasses
But if you decide to cross that line, well that?s fine
The Foot Knows Where Your Ass Is
