History Lesson

[Verse 1]
Rumors, they been a-flyin' in this town
Say it's an old flame and you been runnin' around
When I come home, baby, tell me it ain't true
All I can say is don't get caught
'Cause there'll be hell to pay and I can't be bought
Throw a little gasoline on the fire

[Chorus]
Well, now don't give me a reason to go crazy
Well, now don't give me a reason to lose my mind
'Cause I cocked the hammer back on my Smith and Wesson
To give some old boy a history lesson

[Verse 2]
I kicked the door wide open on his trailer house
He came a-runnin' at me and found my pistol in his mouth
Heard you were lookin' for me and datin' my wife
And everything started turnin' black
I had him in my sight, there's no turnin' back
Throw a little gasoline on the fire

[Chorus]
Well, now don't give me a reason to go crazy
Well, now don't give me a reason to lose my mind
'Cause I cocked the hammer back on my Smith and Wesson
To give some old boy a history lesson

[Bridge]
Struck a match and flicked it out the window
Sat there watchin' the smoke 'til it started a good roll
Popped the clutch, spun the tires as I drove away
Left one hell of a mark on this town
It won't ever be the same

[Chorus]
Well, now don't give me a reason to go crazy
Well, now don't give me a reason to lose my mind
'Cause I cocked the hammer back on my Smith and Wesson
To give some old boy a history lesson
To give some old boy a history lesson

[Outro]
Well, he's history
Hope he learned his lesson
