Just Enough To Get In Trouble

I've been down my share of

Country roads, boulevards and interstates

I kinda know my way around

A little 'bout a lot of things

I know what the cards say

Sometimes the hard way, it looks so easy

My curiosity always gets me in a ditch

What really happens if you turn

That knob or flip that switch

Something I shouldn't do

Why, you already knew

That's all been taught to me

I know just enough to get in trouble

And that's just enough to understand

That the more I know, the more I'm sure

Someday it's gonna do me in

Yeah, when my time comes

And I'm dead and gone

Let 'em put it on my tombstone

He knew just enough to get in trouble

But not enough to leave it alone

They got a book somewhere

On everything a woman wants

'Bout how and when and where

And why they will and why they won't

That's complicated stuff

And when it comes to love, I'm still learning

I know just enough to get in trouble

And that's just enough to understand

That the more I know, the more I'm sure

Someday it's gonna do me in

Yeah, when my time comes

And I'm dead and gone

Let 'em write it on my tombstone

He knew just enough to get in trouble

But not enough to leave it alone

Waylon always told me

?Son, everybody makes mistakes?

And how come it's always me

Standing there when something breaks?

Yeah, I know just enough to get in trouble

And that's just enough to understand

That the more I know, the more I'm sure

Someday it's gonna do me in

Yeah, when my time comes

And I'm dead and gone

Let 'em write it on my tombstone

Here lies just enough to get in trouble

But not enough to leave it alone

He knew just enough to get in trouble

But not quite enough to leave it alone
