Don't ride your bike off a ramp
That's more than three bricks high
Don't take that candy from the store if you ain't got the dime
Don't pick a fight with the little guy that doesn't talk that much
Don't pick up a cherry bomb thinking its a dud
Don't sneak out of a two-story house
Using bed sheets for a rope
Don't ask me how i know

Sell your truck while it's still runnin'
Save the Jesus off the dash
Say a prayer when you feel like cussin'
Save your money, pay with cash
Forget your pride, buy the roses
If you're sorry tell her so
Don't drink the water in Mexico
Don't ask me how I know

Don't quit your high school football team
Half way through the season
Don't bust your buddy in the nose
When you know he didn't mean it
Don't lose the girl you love at home for a night in Panama City Don't rush off the phone when your momma calls, you ain't that busy
You ought to make that drive to say goodbye to your grandpa 'fore he goes
Don't ask me how I know


Sell your truck while it's still runnin'
Save the Jesus off the dash
Say a prayer when you feel like cussin'
Save your money, pay with cash
Forget your pride, buy the roses
If you're sorry tell her so
Don't drink the water in Mexico
Don't ask me how I know

Forget your pride, buy the roses
If you love her, tell her so
Don't go to Vegas with your heart broke
Don't bum your cousin for that first smoke
I'm tellin' ya don't drink the water in Mexico
Don't ask me how I know
Don't ask me how I know
I just know

Sell your truck while it's still runnin'
Say a prayer when you feel like cussin'
I know
