Don’t Tell Me What To Do
By Mike Whiteley 11-10-19
You should never chase your pain pills down with whiskey
You should never drive a hundred forty miles an hour
You should never tell a mad cop, you think you know his sister
Don’t let ‘em film you naked on top of a water tower
(Ha, Good times)
Don’t break your fireworks down to make one big one
Don’t jump off the school with a trash bag parachute
Don’t sit and drink a cold beer on the statues at the courthouse
If you were wondering, they frown on that one too.
There’s so many things they say you shouldn’t do
They say don’t do it, don’t do it
Don’t you go out with that girl
She gets around like a rumor
She’s just sin with curves and curls
And, she’ll break you like a mustang ‘fore she’s through
But, her hypnotizing eyes they are so blue
So, don’t tell me what to do
No, don’t tell me what to do
(yeah, I got this)
You shouldn’t do a shot for every year on your birthday
You shouldn’t let your friends pick out your new tattoo
You shouldn’t bet a hundred dollars on a late-night game of eight ball
When you know ten bucks is all you got on you
No, please don’t tell me what you think is bad for me
We all have lessons to be learned
And, the more you tell me that I’ve hooked up with a devil
The more I can’t wait to get burned
They say don’t do it, don’t do it
Don’t you dare get with that girl
She’s downright up to no damned good
She’s sin with curves and curls
But, they’re never gonna change my point of view
‘Cause I can’t wait to see what hell she puts me through
Don’t tell me what to do
No, don’t tell me what to do
Don’t tell me what to do
