Lyric
Said the old man to the young manLeanin’ on the fenceSpittin’ out his wisdomThat didn’t make much senseHe said I’m gon’ give ya somethin’That’ll help you in a jamYour on the job with a womanYou sit where you canWhen you find yourself in a hole stop diggin’Cotton row gets long, keep pickin’Fish ain’t bitin’, then son keep fishin’Always drink upstream from your cattleBe aware of cars and womenThey run cold and hotSometimes you get itSometimes you get gotWhen it comes to country livingYou can’t do no wrongListen to a front porch prophetWho’s been living twice as longPrecious little gemsFrom wouldn’ts and I wantsOld man soapbox summonsSimple do’s and don’tsLikeYa’ always catch more bees with honeyLess is more ‘cept love and moneyRide in the truck in between your buddiesYou won’t have to get out and open the gateTell the truth it’s twice as easyIf you’re right or notSometimes you get itSometimes you get gotDon’t mix your whiskey with decisionAsk forgiveness, not permissionDo a rain-dance when it’s mistin’They say time ends everythingTalk less, just listenYou can learn a lotSometimes you get itSometimes you get gotSometimes you get itSometimes you get GotFind yourself in a hole stop diggin’If the cotton row get a long, keep pickin’Fish ain’t bitin’ son, keep fishin’Always drink upstream from ya cattleDon’t mix your whiskey with decisionAsk forgiveness not permission
