[Verse 1]
A 1986 Harley
Blowing smoke and sucking oil
My daddy said "Buy it and you're crazy, boy"
Can't tell me nothin'
It took 2 months to fix it up
And one day to lay her down
I got a little hitch in my get-along now
Can't tell me nothin'
[Verse 2]
Talk is cheap and free advice
Is worth the price you pay
I had to find out for myself the hard way
Can't tell me nothin'
[Verse 3]
Hometown homecoming sweetheart
Nobody thought I had a prayer
Her mama 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
Now two babies and a trailer later here I am
Can't tell me nothin'
[Verse 4]
Talk is cheap and free advice
Is worth the price you pay
I had to find out for myself the hard way
Can't tell me nothin'
[Verse 5]
They say that drinking'll kill you
The same thing for rolling smoke
That's two of the three things 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'
