Better I Don't - Chris Janson

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 lotta 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

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
