That's What I've Been Told

(album: Behind The Bar - 2021)

A Chevy grille ain't no match for a mailbox
BB guns are good for breaking glass
You can buy beer at seventeen
You don't have to lie if they don't ask
And girls don't like a kiss that tastes like Skoal
Least that's what I've been told

They'll put your ass in jail for stealing stop signs
The biggest dog don't win in every fight
Don't make a bet you can't afford to lose
Don't jump off that river bridge at night
And there's roads where even Broncos shouldn't go
At least that what I've been told

If you're just saying prayers, then you ain't praying
If both men ain't shook hands, then it ain't sold
When Daddy don't say nothing, you better listen
'Cause he won't be here for long
And that girl ain't coming back if you let her go
At least that's what I've been told

You better buy your weekend beer before a Sunday
Don't lay out all night before a game
Don't let grandpa's Gibson go
Diesel trucks won't run on gasoline
You better never love a girl that your mama don't
Least that what I've been told

If you're just saying prayers, then you ain't praying
If both men ain't shook hands, then it ain't sold
When Daddy don't say nothing, you better listen
'Cause he won't be here for long
And that girl ain't coming back if you let her go
At least that's what I've been told
That's what I've been told

You better tell that girl that she's everything you want
'Cause you're gonna wish you did if you don't

If you're just saying prayers, then you ain't praying
If both men ain't shook hands, then it ain't sold
When Daddy don't say nothing, you better listen
'Cause he won't be here for long
And that girl ain't coming back if you let her go
At least that's what I've been told, oh

A Chevy grille ain't no match for a mailbox
BB guns were made for breaking glass
You can buy beer at seventeen
You don't have to lie if they don't ask
