Keep It Between the Lines

Don't turn mailboxes into baseballs Don't get busted selling at 17 Most thoughts deserve two or three more Motor oil is motor oil Just keep your engine clean Keep your eyes on the prize Everything will be fine Long as you stay in school Stay off the hard stuff And keep between the lines Don't burn two lanterns at the same time No ship out on the water will pay your rent 'Cause you live and you learn Sometimes you get burned When you get out, done got up Walked out the door and went Do as I say Don't do as I've done It don't have to be Like a father, like his son Don't let them try to upsell you There's a reason they make chocolate and vanilla, too If there's any doubt, and there is no doubt The gut don't never lie And the only word you'll ever need to know in life is "Why" Keep your head out of the clouds And remember to be kind And just stay in school Stay off the drugs And keep between the lines (Don't, don't sweat the small stuff) (Can't sweat the small stuff) (Don't sweat the small stuff)
