[Verse 1] (Randy Travis)
G
I was ten years old on my grandpa's farm when it happened
D
After all these years I can still hear grandpa laughin'

As he applied that barnyard remedy
C
He passed his wisdom down to me
G
You don't reach for the honey

[Verse 2] (Clint Eastwood)
G
I remember my first crush was on the preacher's daughter
D
We were smoochin' on the front porch swing that night when he caught her
G
We weren't expectin' him home until quarter past ten
C
When the good Lord taught me that lesson again
G
You don't reach for the honey

C G
You don't point your pistol before you check each chamber
D G
And you don't drink no you don't drink when you drive

It's just ordinary common sense to avoid that danger

You don't reach for the honey

[Verse 3] (Randy and Clint)
G
She rolled into town with rodeo, she was a beauty
D
And that cowboy saw you wink at her, she was a cutie
G
The sound of jinglin' spurs caught me dead on a run
C
He was fit to be tied and you were under the gun
G
You don't reach for the honey
