That's What I've Been Told

A Chevy grille ain't no match for a mailbox
BB guns are good for breakin' glass
You can buy beer at seventeen
You don't have to lie if they don't ask
And girls don't like a kiss that tastes like Skoal
Least that's what I've been told

They'll put your ass in jail for stealin' stop signs
The biggest dog don't win in every fight
Don't make a bet you can't afford to lose
Don't jump off that river bridge at night
And there's roads where even Broncos shouldn't go
At least that what I've been told

If you're just sayin' prayers, then you ain't prayin'
If both men ain't shook hands, then it ain't sold
When Daddy don't say nothin', you better listen
'Cause he won't be here for long
And that girl ain't comin' back if you let her go
At least that's what I've been told

You better buy your weekend beer before a Sunday
Don't lay out all night before a game
Don't let grandpa's Gibson go
Diesel trucks won't run on gasoline
You better never love a girl that your mama don't
Least that what I've been told

If you're just sayin' prayers, then you ain't prayin'
If both men ain't shook hands, then it ain't sold
When Daddy don't say nothin', you better listen
'Cause he won't be here for long
And that girl ain't comin' back if you let her go
At least that's what I've been told
That's what I've been told

You better tell that girl she's everything you want
'Cause you're gonna wish you did if you don't

If you're just sayin' prayers, then you ain't prayin'
If both men ain't shook hands, then it ain't sold
When Daddy don't say nothin', you better listen
'Cause he won't be here for long
And that girl ain't comin' back if you let her go
At least that's what I've been told, oh

A Chevy grille ain't no match for a mailbox
BB guns were made for breakin' glass
You can buy beer at seventeen
You don't have to lie if they don't ask
