You'd better heed my warning
When the cow is gone
And I'm gonna laugh louder baby
It's a long, long road
You know you'd better heed
Always laughs the best
Than all the rest
Is worth two in the bush
Baby, that's where I'm gonna be
But you'll find a bird in hand
You'd better heed
The straw that broke the camel's back
You'd better heed my warning
You'd better heed my warning
But you can't make him think
You can send a kid to college
If you wanna catch a worm
And you'll never miss me baby
Till the well runs dry
You'll never miss your water baby
If the grass look greener yonder
If you want me to get out baby
You know you don't have to push
They say absence makes
But you're gonna miss me, baby
I almost blew my wig
There's no need to lock the barn door
The heart grow fonder, so it's plain to see
That don't have a turn
You have to be an early bird
You'd better heed
Didn't have to be so big
On some frosty dawn
And when you ran off and left me baby
They say he who has the last laugh
Till I say goodbye
