Said the old man to the young man Leanin on the fence, Spittin out his wisdom That didn't make much sence; He said im'ma give ya somethin' That'll help you in a jam. Your on the job with a women, You sit where you can. When 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 cattle Be aware of cars and women They run cold and hott Sometimes you get it Sometimes you get got When it comes to country living You can't do no wrong Listen to a front porch prophet Who's been living twice as long Precious little gems From wouldn'ts and i wants Old man soapbox summons Simple dos and don'ts Like- Ya' always catch more bees with honey Less is more 'cept love and money Ride in the truck in between your buddies You won't have to get out and open the gate Tell the truth it's twice as easy If you're right or not Sometimes you get it Sometimes you get got Don't mix your whiskey with descision Ask forgiveness, not permission Do a rain-dance when it's mistin' They say time ends everything Talk less, Just listen; You can learn a lot Sometimes you get it, Sometimes you get got. Sometimes you get it, Sometimes you Get Got. Find 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 cattle Don't mix your whiskey with decision Ask forgivness not permission
