Can't Tell Me Nothing

Tim McGraw · Live Like You Were Dying

1986 Harley, blowing smoke and sucking oil

My daddy said, 'Buy it and you're crazy boy'

Can't tell me nothin'



It took me two months to fix it up

And one day to lay it down

I got a little hitch in my get-along now

Can't tell me nothin'



Talk is cheap and free advice

Is worth the price you pay

I had to find out for myself the hard way

Can't tell me nothin'



Hometown homecoming sweetheart

Nobody thought I had a prayer

Her mama said, 'Boy, don't you come around here'

Can't tell me nothin'



They say, be careful what you wish for

I want to be her man

Two babies and a trailer later, here I am

Can't tell me nothin'



Talk is cheap and free advice

Is worth the price you pay

I had to find out for myself the hard way

Can't tell me nothin'



They say drinking will kill you

The same thing for rolling smoke

That's two of the three things I like most

Can't tell me nothin'



I know what the Good Book preaches

But I know how I am

I sure hope somebody up there understands

Can't tell me nothin'

Can't tell me nothin'
