D
[Verse 1]
D A
A 1986 Harley blowing smoke and sucking oil
Em G
My daddy said, 'Buy it and you're crazy boy'
A D
You can't tell me nothin'
[Verse 2]
D
It took two months to fix it up
A
And one day to lay her down
Em G
I got a little hitch in my get-a-long now
A D
You can't tell me nothin'
[Chorus]
A Bm Bm/A G
Talk is cheap and free advice
D A
Is worth the price you pay
A Bm Bm/A G A
I had to find out for myself the hard way
D
You can't tell me nothin'
[Verse 3]
D
Hometown homecoming sweetheart
A
Nobody thought I had a prayer
Em G
Her mama said, 'Boy, don't you come around here'
A D
You can't tell me nothin'
[Verse 4]
D
They say be careful what you wish for
A
I want to be her man
Em G
Two babies and a trailer later here I am
A D
You can't tell me nothin'
[Chorus]
A Bm Bm/A G
Talk is cheap and free advice
D A
Is worth the price you pay
A Bm Bm/A G A
I had to find out for myself the hard way
D
You can't tell me nothin'
[Verse 5]
D
They say drinking will kill you
A
The same thing for rolling smokes
Em Dsus2 G
But that's two of the three things I like most
A D
You can't tell me nothin'
D
I know what the good book preaches
A
But I know how I am
Em Dsus2 G A
I sure hope somebody up there understands
D
You can't tell me nothin'
D
You can't tell me nothin'
