Don’t Take Moderation to Excess

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't drink coffee in the evening Don't like that jitter in my veins I don't drink whisky before breakfast Got to hold on tight to what's left of my brains I do not stray into temptation But last night she found my home address She walked right through that door, left me begging for more And I don't take moderation to excess [Chorus] Don't take moderation to excess You can't have too much happiness You'll never see a winning hand with the cards held to your vest Don't take moderation to excess [Verse 2] I read those food nutrition labels I check the unit price before I buy I keep my health insurance paid up every month I take the train before I fly I try to make intelligent decisions But they say idiots are blessed Yes I'll trust in the Lord's grace, everything has a time and place Where I don't take moderation to excess [Chorus] Don't take moderation to excess You can't have too much happiness You'll never see a winning hand with the cards held to your vest Don't take moderation to excess [Bridge] I shut my door against uncertainty I turned the bolt and I set the chain True love blew into town and she kicked that sucker down And now I'll never be the same [Verse 3] 'Cause I could overdose on radiation And drinking and driving it's a crime (That time) A credit card'll kill me on the interest And the Internet gonna eat up all my time They say it's better to be safe than to be sorry But a guy can die from too much loneliness When love is requited tell me why should I fight it I say don't take moderation to excess [Chorus] Don't take moderation to excess You can't have too much happiness You'll never see a winning hand with the cards held to your vest Don't take moderation to e– Don't take moderation to e– Don't take moderation to e– Don't take moderation to e– Don't take moderation to excess
