(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!”
