A 1986 Harley blowing smoke and sucking oil

It took two months to fix it up

Is worth the price you pay

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'

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'

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'
