Just Enough To Get In Trouble

(album: I'm One Of You - 2003)

I've been down my share of
Country roads, boulevards, and interstates
I kinda know my way around
A little bout a lot of things
I know what the cards say
Sometimes the hard way
It looks so easy

My curiosity always gets me in a ditch
What really happens if
You turn that knob
Or flip that switch
Something I shouldn't do
Why you already knew
Thats all been taught to me

I know just enough to get in trouble
And thats just enough to understand
That the more I know
The more I'm sure
Someday it's gonna do me in
Yeah when my time comes
And I'm dead and gone
Let em put it on my tombstone
He knew just enough to get in trouble
But not enough to leave it alone

They got a book somewhere
On everything a woman wants
Bout how and when and where
And why they will
And why they won't
Thats complicated stuff
And when it comes to love
I'm still learning

I know just enough to get in trouble
And thats just enough to understand
That the more I know
The more I'm sure
Someday it's gonna do me in
Yeah when my time comes
And I'm dead and gone
Let em write it on my tombstone
He knew just enough to get in trouble
But not enough to leave it alone

Waylon always told me
Son everybody makes mistakes
And how come it's always me
Standing there when something breaks

Yeah I know just enough to get in trouble
And thats just enough to understand
That the more I know
The more I'm sure
Someday it's gonna do me in
Yeah when my time comes
And I'm dead and gone
Let em write it on my tombstone
Here lies just enough to get in trouble
But not enough to leave it alone

He knew just enough to get in trouble
But not quite enough to leave it alone
