When I was
five years old,
the old man and me
Were heading down to the HEB
And I was bouncing around in the backseat
He said, boy, you better buckle up
I didn't understand, so I asked why
He said, if something went wrong
that I'd go fly
And that right there was all it took
Those little lessons in our lives
Well, that's something we all need
So why didn't
anybody warn me
About that blonde -haired bombshell
Sittin' at the end of the bar
Roping me in with a wink and a grin
Running off with my heart
Just to tear it right in two
So why didn't anybody warn
me about you?
Don't drink and drive,
always be on time
Never bring a knife to a gunfight
Well, that's all damn good advice
But it ain't helping me now
I wish someone would've
showed me a sketch
Of how you looked in that black dress
And told me if I saw you
To get the hell out of town
Might've saved some heartache
And quite a few paychecks blown
If I'd have already known
About that blonde -haired bombshell
Sitting at the end of the bar
Roping me in with a wink and a grin
Running off with my heart
Just to tear it right in two
So why didn't anybody
warn me about you?
You could've saved a lot
of bridges from being burned
If you were a lesson that I'd already
learned
Cause that blonde haired bombshell
Sitting at the end of the bar
Roached me in with a wink and a grin
Ran off with my heart
Just tear it right in two
Tell me why
Why didn't anybody warn me
about you
