My good buddy asked me, "Buddy, why don′t you drink?"

And I said, "It's probably better I don′t"

He said, "There's a lot of girls in this here bar that we could chase"I said, "Trust me, it's probably better I don′t

′Cause I used to be an all-nighter, I'm a hell of a back slider

I′ve been around the block more than a time or two

And I can promise you I've drank my weight in booze

And I′ve been known to get on stage in nothing but my boots"

So it's better I don′t, 'cause believe me I will

I get looser than a line on a fishing reel

Dare me don't do, don′t think I won′t

Take it all off, turn it all on

Get buck wild, hell-bent, and stoned

It's better I don′t

Well I was wearing the cuffs, when the warden said, "Just tell me the truth"

And I said, "Sir, it's probably better I don′t"

And I was up on the stand, and the judge said, "Just tell me what happened man"

And I said, "Buddy, it's probably better I don′t, but since you asked

I was mindin' my own business at a hundred and five

I was a county road cruisin' out running the blue lights

I was on the home stretch, I was roundin′ that last curve

Well I ran out of gas and that′s when I learn"

It's better I don′t, 'cause believe me I will

I get looser than a line on a fishing reel

Dare me don′t do, don't think I won′t

Take it all off, turn it all on

Get buck wild, hell-bent, and stoned

It's better I don't

Now there′s things I don′t remember

There's things that I do

But I don′t know the half of what I got into

And it's better I don′t, 'cause believe me I will, yeah

I get looser than a line on your fishing reel

Dare me don′t do, don't think I won't

Take it all off, turn it all on

Get buck wild, hell-bent, and stoned

Drunk dial somebody on the phone

Drink too many beers and drive a Harley home

It′s better I don′t

Yeah, it's better I don′t

Yeah, it's better I don′t
