1986 Harley, blowing smoke and sucking oil
My daddy said buy it and you're crazy boy
Can't tell me nothin'

It took two months to fix it up
One day to lay it down
I got a little hitch in my get-along now
Can't tell me nothin'

Talk is cheap and free advice is worth the price you paid
I had to find out for myself, the hard way
Can't tell me nothin'

Hometown homecomming sweetheart
Nobody thought I had a prayer
Her momma said boy, don't you come around here
Can't tell me nothin'

They say be careful what you wish for
I wanted to be her man
Two babies and a trailer later, here I am
You can't tell me nothin'

Talk is cheap and free advice is worth the price you paid
I had to find out for myself, the hard way
You can't tell me nothin'

They say that drinkin'll kill you
The same thing with rollin' smokes
But that's two of the three things that I like most
Can't tell me nothin'

I know what the good book preaches
But I know how I am
I sure hope somebody up there understands
Can't tell me nothin'

Can't tell me nothin'
