[G] [C] My good buddy [G] asked me, buddy, why don't you drink?
[F] And I said, it's probably [C] better I don't.
He said, there's a lot of girls [G] in this here bar
that we can chase.
[F] I said, trust me, probably better [C] I don't.
See, I used to be an all nighter.
[G] I'm a hell of a backslider.
[F] I've been around the block [C] more than a time or two.
And I can promise you, I've drank [G] my weight in booze.
[F] And I've been known to get on stage [G] enough.
Love my booze, so it's better [C] I don't.
Believe [G] me, I will.
[F] I get looser than a [C] line on a fishing reel.
Damn it, don't do.
[G] Don't think I won't.
[F] Take it all off.
[G] Turn it all on.
[F] Get love, wild health, [G] and stone.
[C] It's better I don't.

Well, I was wearing the cuffs [G] when the warden said,
just tell me the truth.
And [F] I said, sir, it's probably better [C] I don't.
And I was up off the stand.
And the judge said, [G] just tell me what happened, man.
And [F] I said, buddy, it's probably better [C] I don't.
But since you asked, I was minding my own [G] business at 105.
[F] I was county road cruising, now we're [C] running the [Gm] blue lights.
[C] I was on the half stretch.
[G] I was rounding that last curve.
[F] Well, I ran out of gas.
[G] And that's [C] when [G] I learned it's better [C] I don't.
Believe [G] me, I will.
[F] I get looser than a [C] line on a fishing reel.
Damn it, don't do.
[G] Don't think I won't.
[F] Take it all off.
[G] Turn it all on.
Get [F] love, wild [C] health, and [G] stone.
It's better [C] I don't.

[G] [F]
[C] [G] Now, there's things I don't remember.
There's things that I do.
[F] But I don't know but half [G] of what I got into.
And it's better [C] I don't.
[N] Because believe me, [G] I will.
Yeah, [Fm] I get [F] looser than a [Cm] line on your fishing reel.
[C] Damn it, don't do.
Don't [G] think I [F] won't.
Take it all off.
[G] Turn it all on.
[F] Get love, wild health, [G] and stone.
[F] Drunk down somebody [G] on the phone.
Drink too [F] many beers and drive a Harley [G] home.
[C] It's better I don't.
[G] Yeah, it's [C] better I don't.
Yeah, it's better I don't.
