My good buddy asked me  "Buddy why don't you drink?" 
             F                       C 
And I said, "It's probably better I don't" 
                                             G 
He said, "There's a lotta girls in this here bar that we could chase"  
        F 
I said "Trust me"  
                        C 
It's probably better I don't  

Cuz I used to be an all nighter 
       G 
I'm a hell of a back slider 
           F                            C 
I've been around the block more than a time or two 

And I can promise you 
               G 
I've drank my weight in booze 
               F                                G 
And I've been known to get on stage in nothing but my boots so 

 
               C                       G 
It's better I don't, cuz believe me I will 
      F                       C 
I get looser than a line on a fishing reel 
                                G 
Dare me don't do, don't think I won't 
F                G 
Take it all off, turn it all on 
       F                      G 
Get buck wild, hell bent, and stoned 
              C        G F C 
It's better I don't 



                                               G 
Well I was wearing the cuffs, when the warden said 

"Just tell me the truth" 
            F                           C 
And I said "Sir, it's probably better I don't" 

And I was up on the stand and the judge said 
       G 
"Just tell me what happened man" 
             F                            C 
And I said, "Buddy it's probably better I don't but since you asked 
                                   G 
I was mindin' my own business at a hundred and five 
        F 
I was a county road cruisin' 
    C 
Outrunning the blue lights 

I was on the home stretch 
      G 
I was roundin' that last curve 
       F                         G 
Well I ran out of gas and that's when I learned 


            G 
Now there's things I don't remember 

There's things that I do 
            F                       G 
But I don't know the half of what I got into 

              C                        G 
It's better I don't, cuz believe me I will 
      F                       C 
I get looser than a line on a fishing reel 
                                G 
Dare me don't do, don't think I won't 
F                 G 
Take it all off, turn it all on 
    F                         G 
Get buck wild, hell bent, and stoned 
      F                    G 
Drunk dial somebody on the phone 
               F                        G 
Drink too many beers and drive a Harley home 
               C       G 
It's better I don't 
                   F 
Yeah it's better I don't  
C                          G F C 
Yeah it's better I don't
