Written by - Steve Bogard & Rick Giles 1986 Harley Blowing smoke and sucking oil My daddy said, 'Buy it and you're crazy boy' You can't tell me nothin' It took me a year to fix it up And one day to lay her down I got a little hitch in my get-along now You can't tell me nothin' Chorus: Talk is cheap and free advice Is worth the price you pay I had to find out for myself the hard way You can't tell me nothin' Hometown homecoming sweetheart Nobody thought I had a prayer Her mama said, 'Boy, don't you come around here' You can't tell me nothin' They say be careful what you wish for I want to be her man Two babies and a trailer later here I am You can't tell me nothin' Chorus Talk is cheap and free advice Is worth the price you pay I had to find out for myself the hard way You can't tell me nothin' Instrumental They say that drinking will kill you The same thing for rolling smokes But that's two of the three things that I like most You can't tell me nothin' I know what the good book preaches But I know how I am I just hope somebody up there understands You can't tell me nothin' You can't tell me nothin'...
