Can't Tell Me Nothin'

The same thing for rollin' smokes
I had to find out for myself the hard way
I got a little hitch in my get along now
Hometown homecoming sweetheart
I wanted to be her man

You can't tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'
They say that drinkin' will kill you
I had to find out for myself the hard way
Talk is cheap and free advice

Nobody thought I had a prayer
You can't tell me nothin'

And I just hope somebody up there understands
Is worth the price you pay
And one day to lay her down
You can't tell me nothin'

But I know how I am
But that's two of the three things that I like most

My Daddy said, "Buy it and you're crazy, boy"
Her Mama said, "Boy, don't you come around here"
You can't tell me nothin'
Is worth the price you pay
They say be careful what you wish for

It took me a year to fix it up
Talk is cheap and free advice
Two babies and a trailer later here I am
You can't tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'
I know what the Good Book preaches
