Better I Don't

My good buddy asked me, "Buddy, why don't you drink?"

And I said, "It's probably better I don't"

He said, "There's a lot of girls in this here bar that we could chase"

I said, "Trust me, it's probably better I don't

'Cause I used to be an all-nighter, I'm a hell of a back slider

I've been around the block more than a time or two

And I can promise you I've drank my weight in booze

And I've been known to get on stage in nothing but my boots"

So it's better I don't, 'cause believe me I will

I get looser than a line on a fishing reel

Dare me don't do, don't think I won't

Take it all off, turn it all on

Get buck wild, hell-bent, and stoned

It's better I don't

Well I was wearing the cuffs, when the warden said, "Just tell me the truth"

And I said, "Sir, it's probably better I don't"

And I was up on the stand, and the judge said, "Just tell me what happened man"

And I said, "Buddy, it's probably better I don't, but since you asked

I was mindin' my own business at a hundred and five

I was a county road cruisin' out running the blue lights

I was on the home stretch, I was roundin' that last curve

Well I ran out of gas and that's when I learn"

It's better I don't, 'cause believe me I will

I get looser than a line on a fishing reel

Dare me don't do, don't think I won't

Take it all off, turn it all on

Get buck wild, hell-bent, and stoned

It's better I don't

Now there's things I don't remember

There's things that I do

But I don't know the half of what I got into

And it's better I don't, 'cause believe me I will, yeah

I get looser than a line on your fishing reel

Dare me don't do, don't think I won't

Take it all off, turn it all on

Get buck wild, hell-bent, and stoned

Drunk dial somebody on the phone

Drink too many beers and drive a Harley home

It's better I don't

Yeah, it's better I don't

Yeah, it's better I don't
