Lyrics Chris Janson – Better I Don’t
Text:
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»
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,
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
