Can’t Tell Nobody Nothin’

[Verse 1]
Anna met a boy at a bar
Said she was falling in love
I told her he was nothing but trouble
I guess I didn't say it enough
It didn't really take that long
Before he broke her little heart in two
I didn't wanna be right
But what you gonna do?
I'm just talkin'
Huffin' and puffin'
You can't tell nobody nothin'

[Verse 2]
Billy met a guy at a bar
Said he could make 'em both rich
All he needed was someone to drive
That was the only hitch
I said it sounded like somethin'
You do before you go to jail
Billy called me this mornin'
Wantin' money for bail
I'm through talkin'
Huffin' and puffin'
You can't tell nobody nothin'

[Chorus]
In one ear and out the other
It's sad, I don't know why we even try
We're just talking to the wall
Hey, I wonder why we even waste our breath
Of beatin' somethin' dead to death
When it don't do no good at all
(Don't do no good at all)

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
In one ear and out the other
It's sad, I don't know why we even try
We're just talking to the wall
Hey, I wonder why we even waste our breath
Of beatin' somethin' dead to death
When it don't do no good at all

[Verse 3]
I met a girl at a bar
Thought I was falling in love
Said she knew where to get money
Asked me if I had a truck
Billy and Anna smelled trouble
They said, "Come on home with us"
I'm handcuffed here in the courthouse
Standin' in front of the judge
I'm just talkin'
Huffin' and puffin'
You can't tell nobody nothin'
I'm just talkin'
Huffin' and puffin'
You can't tell nobody nothin'
