Good Advice - Guy Clark

In one ear and out the other,

Just like talking to your mother.

If it’s not one thing, it’s another,

That you can count on.

I’ve heard it all more than twice,

Not again, oh Jesus Christ.

Funny thing about good advice is

Everybody’s got some.

Good advice is hard to take,

Bad habits are hard to break.

Good sense is hard to make,

Good advice is hard to take.

Life’s such a bitter pill,

Swallow it down with a shot of pride,

And as the devil just step outside

This ain’t no time to run and hide,

You gotta draw the line somewhere.

Don’t give me no advice that rhymes

I’ve heard it all a thousand times.

Don’t start preaching between the lines,

Give me something I can use.

Good advice is hard to take,

Bad habits are hard to break.

Good sense is hard to make,

Good advice is hard to take.

Good advice is hard to take,

Bad habits are hard to break.

Good sense is hard to make,

Good advice is hard to take.
