Can't Tell Me Nothin'

A 1986 Harley, blowing smoke and suckin' oil
My daddy said "Buy it, and you're crazy boy."
Can't tell me nothing.
It took two months to fix it up
And one day to lay it down
I got a little hitch in my get-a-long now.
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 nothing.

Hometown homecoming sweetheart
Nobody thought I had a prayer
Her mamma said "Boy, don't you come around here."
Can't tell me nothing.
They say "Be careful what you wish for."
I wanted to be her man
Now two babies and a trailor later, here I am.
Can't tell me nothing.
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 nothing.

They say that drinking will kill you
The same thing for rolling smoke
That's two of the three things I like most
Can't tell me nothing.
I know what the good book preaches
But I know how I am.
I sure hope somebody up there understands.
Can't tell me nothing.
Can't tell me nothing.
