Lyrics

When I was a boy

About 10 years old

I went swimming in the fishing hole

Floating around in my birthday suit

When a friend turned over my inner-tube

I said a four letter word

And my heart sank

When mama snuck up

And screamed from the bank

Chorus:

Don't make me have to come in there

You'd rather tangle with a grizzly bear

You got about a minute

To get out here

Don't make me have to come in there

Boy, don't make me have to come in there

Barely 16 when I borrowed the car

Started to a movie

Ended up at a bar

With a fake I.D. I got in

And ordered a round for all my friends

Took a little sip

Then spit it on the floor

When I heard daddy holler from the front door

Chorus:

Don't make me have to come in there

You'd rather tangle with a grizzly bear

You got about a minute

To get out here

Don't make me have to come in there

Son now don't make me have to come in there

Last night I was down at The Do Drop Inn

Talking to an old girlfriend

My little woman gave me a call

When I said hello she began to squall

Don't you lie to me

You're not alone

I'm right outside on my cellular phone

Chorus:

Don't make me have to come in there

You'd rather tangle with a grizzly bear

You got about a minute

To get out here

Don't make me have to come in there

You better not make me have to come in there

Don't make me have to come in there

You'd rather tangle with a grizzly bear

You got about a minute

To get out here

Don't make me have to come in there

Friend, don't you make me have to come in there
