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 lotta 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 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
