My good buddy asked me, "Buddy, why don't you drink" 
And I said, "It's probably better I don't" 
He said, "There's a lot of girls in this here bar that we could chase" 
I said, "Trust me, it's probably better I don't" 
'Cause I used to be an all nighter 
I'm a hell of a back slider 
I've been around the block more than a time or two 
And I can promise you I've drank my weight in booze 
And I've been known to get on stage in nothin' but my boots 
So it's better I don't 'cause believe me I will 
I get looser than a line on a fishing reel 
Dare me don't do, don't think I won't 
Take it all off, turn it all on 
Get buck wild, hell bent, and stoned 
It's better I don't 
Well, I was wearing the cuffs when the warden said, "Just tell me the truth" 
And I said, "Sir, it's probably better I don't" 
And I was up on the stand, and the judge said, "Just tell me what happened, man" 
And I said, "Buddy, it's probably better I don't" 
But since you asked, I was mindin' my own business at a hundred and five 
I was county road cruisin' out runnin' the blue lights 
I was on the home stretch, I was roundin' that last curve 
Well, I ran out of gas, and that's when I learned 
So it's better I don't 'cause believe me I will 
I get looser than a line on a fishing reel 
Dare me don't do, don't think I won't 
Take it all off, turn it all on 
Get buck wild, hell bent, and stoned 
It's better I don't 
Now, there's things I don't remember, there's things that I do 
But I don't know the half of what I got into 
And it's better I don't 'cause believe me I will 
Yeah, I get looser than a line on your fishing reel 
Dare me don't do, don't think I won't 
Take it all off, turn it all on 
Get buck wild, hell bent, and stoned 
Drunk dial somebody on the phone 
Drink too many beers and drive a Harley home 
It's better I don't 
Yeah, it's better I don't 
Yeah, it's better I don't
