Not As I’ve Done

Lyrics

[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
