"Brownstone" is a common slang for heroin. So you pretty much get what this song is about. It is well known that back in the day Gn'R were major drug addicts, well at least they managed to get inspired by their habit to write a happy song rather than a whinny one.
Mr. Brownstone
Lyrics
I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And I don't worry about nothin', no
Because worrying's a waste of my time
Show usually starts around seven
We go on stage around nine
Get on the bus about eleven
Sippin' a drink and feeling fine
We've been dancin' with Mister Brownstone
He's been knockin', he won't leave me alone
No, no, no, he won't leave me alone
I used ta do a little, but a little wouldn't do it
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said, a little better than before
I used ta do a little, but a little wouldn't do it
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said, a little better than before
We've been dancin' with Mister Brownstone
He's been knockin', he won't leave me alone
No, no, no, he won't leave me alone, wow
Now I get up around whenever
I used to get up on time
But that old man, he's a real motherfucker
Gonna kick him on down the line
I used ta do a little, but a little wouldn't do it
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said, a little better than before
I used ta do a little, but a little wouldn't do it
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' to get a little better
Said, a little better than before
We've been dancin' with Mister Brownstone
He's been knockin', he won't leave me alone
No, no, no, he won't leave me alone
Oh, leave me alone
Stuck it in the middle and I shot it in the middle
And it, it drove outta my mind
I should've known better, said I wish I never met her
Said I, I'd leave it all behind
Yowza
