common sense

As a follow up to yesterday's post, Bobby Pinson sings a country song titled, Don't ask me how I know.

You know that I like both kinds of music, country and western, so here are the lyrics.  They speak a bit to common sense.

Don't ride your bike off a ramp
That's more than three bricks high
Don't take a candy from the store
If you ain't got the dime
Don't pick a fight with a little guy
That doesn't talk that much
Don't pick up a cherry bomb thinkin it's a dud
And don't sneak out of a two story house
Usin bed sheets for a rope
Don' t ask me how I know


Sell your truck while its still runnin
Save the Jesus off the dash
Say a prayer when you feel like cussin
Save your money pay with cash

Forget your pride, buy the roses
If you're sorry tell her so
Don't drink the water in Mexico
Don't ask me how I know


Don't quit your high school football team
Halfway through the season
Don't bust your buddy in the nose
When you know he didn't mean it
Don't lose a girl you love at home
For a night in Panama City
Don't rush off the phone when your Mama calls
You know you ain't that busy
Ya oughta make that drive to say goodbye
To your grampa fore he goes
Don't ask me how I know

Sell your truck while its still runnin
Save the Jesus off the dash
Say a prayer when you feel like cussin
Save your money pay with cash
Forget your pride, buy the roses
If you're sorry tell her so
Don't drink the water in Mexico
Don't ask me how I know


Forget your pride buy the roses, if you love her tell her so
Don't go to Vegas when you're heartbroke
Don't bum your cousin for that first smoke
I'm tellin' ya, don't drink the water in Mexico
Don't ask me how I know
Don't ask me how I know
Ya, I just know
Sell your truck while it's still runnin',
Say a prayer when you feel like cussin'
I know

Common sense.  I wish it was a bit more common.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.

I love anything with an obscure Blues Brothers reference. Well done!
