Not As I’ve Done

[Verse 1]
Don't drink whiskey on an empty stomach
Don't go dancin' with a broken heart
Don't go thinking that true loves a-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

[Chorus]
Oh girl, take it from your momma
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

[Verse 2]
I 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

[Chorus]
Oh girl, take it from your momma
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

[Bridge]
Oooh ooh-ooooh ooh-ooooh
Yeah, you're gonna think I'm crazy
But one day you're gonna thank me
When you have one of your own

[Chorus]
Oh girl, take it from your momma
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
