Not As I've Done

Don't drink whiskey on an empty stomach Don't go dancing with a broken heart Don't go thinking that true love's waiting In the back seat of some boy's car Don't let dust settle on your Bible Don't pierce nothing 'til you think it through Do your best, to learn your lesson From the trouble that you get into Oh girl, take it from your mama I sure wish I took it from mine Someday soon, you're gonna wanna See how far you can bend that line Heaven help you, I'm the one That you'll get your wild side from The shell don't fall far from the gun So do as I say, not as I've done I've learned that you can't take back tattoos Found out cigarettes are hard to quit I've done a lot of things, so you don't have to Make the same mistakes I did Oh girl, take it from your mama I sure wish I took it from mine Someday soon, you're gonna wanna See how far you can bend that line Heaven help you, I'm the one That you'll get your wild side from The shell don't fall far from the gun So do as I say, not as I've done Ooh, ooh Yeah, you're gonna think I'm crazy But one day you're gonna thank me Oh when you have one of your own Oh girl, take it from your mama Sure wish I took it from mine Someday soon, you're gonna wanna See how far you can bend that line Heaven help you, I'm the one That you'll get your wild side from The shell don't fall far from the gun So do as I say, oh do as I say Not as I've done
