Tell Me Twice

I've worked a twelve hour day on a saturday off

Then made a little money on the side then I lost it

Hurt my reputation in my own hometown

I learned the value of a dollar

Cause I had to work for it

And rolled my windows up when the rain is pouring down

But from where I'm sitting now

I've learned a hell of a lot from taking good advice

But a whole lot more just from living life

You don't got to tell me twice

To take a day off when you need the rest

Loosen up the drag on a two pound test

Drink a cold beer when the weather's right

But you don't got to tell me twice

To spend your time off with the ones you love

And sending up prayers to the man above

Say you know how it goes

After every low comes a high that's life

You better hold on and hold on tight

But you don't have to tell me twice

No you don't have to tell me twice

Thought I knew about love when I was seventeen

I cared more about her than I cared about me

Had to learn how to walk the line like johnny said

You better call your mama don't let her call you

Don't lie to your daddy he knows when it ain't the truth

He's the one who knows you best

He says your going to get burned

If you try to set the world on fire

And don't look down if you're walking on wires

You don't got to tell me twice

To take a day off when you need the rest

Loosen up the drag on a two pound test

Drink a cold beer when the weather's right

But you don't got to tell me twice

To spend your time off with the ones you love

And sending up prayers to the man above

Say you know how it goes

After every low comes a high that's life

You better hold on and hold on tight

But you don't have to tell me twice

No you don't have to tell me twice

That's life

It's alright

To take a day off when you need the rest

Loosen up the drag on a two pound test

Drink a cold beer when the weather's right

But you don't got to tell me twice

To spend your time off with the ones you love

And sending up prayers to the man above

Say you know how it goes

After every low comes a high that's life

You better hold on and hold on tight

But you don't have to tell me twice

No you don't have to tell me twice
