Get Got

Said the old man to the young man

Leanin' on the fence,

Spittin' out his wisdom

That didn't make much sense.

Said I'm bound to give you somethin'

That'll help you in a jam,

Or on the job with a women.

You sit where you can.



When you find yourself in a hole, stop diggin',

Cotton row gets long, keep pickin',

Fish ain't bitin', then son keep fishin',

Always drink upstream from your cattle

Be aware of cars and women

They run cold and hot

Sometimes you get it

Sometimes you get got



When it comes to country livin'

You can't do no wrong

Listen to a front porch prophet

Who's been living twice as long

Precious little gems

From wouldn'ts and I wants

Old man soapbox summons

Simple dos and don'ts



Like

You always catch more bees with honey

Less is more 'cept love and money

Ride in the truck between your buddies

You won't have to get out and open the gate

Tell the truth, it's twice as easy

If you're right or not

Sometimes you get it

Sometimes you get got



Don't mix your whiskey with decision

Ask forgiveness, not permission

Do a rain-dance when it's mistin'

They say timing's everything

Talk less, just listen;

You can learn a lot.

Sometimes you get it,

Sometimes you get got.

Sometimes you get it,

Sometimes you get got.



Find yourself in a hole, stop diggin'

If the cotton row gets long, keep pickin'

Fish ain't bitin' son, keep fishin',

Always drink upstream from your cattle

Don't mix your whiskey with decision

Ask forgiveness not permission
