Just Enough To Get In Trouble

Hank Williams Jr.

I've been down my share of

Country roads, boulevards, and interstates

I kinda know my way around

A little bout a lot of things

I know what the cards say

Sometimes the hard way

It looks so easy



My curiosity always gets me in a ditch

What really happens if

You turn that knob

Or flip that switch

Something I shouldn't do

Why you already knew

Thats all been taught to me



I know just enough to get in trouble

And thats just enough to understand

That the more I know

The more I'm sure

Someday it's gonna do me in

Yeah when my time comes

And I'm dead and gone

Let em put it on my tombstone

He knew just enough to get in trouble

But not enough to leave it alone



They got a book somewhere

On everything a woman wants

Bout how and when and where

And why they will

And why they won't

Thats complicated stuff

And when it comes to love

I'm still learning



I know just enough to get in trouble

And thats just enough to understand

That the more I know

The more I'm sure

Someday it's gonna do me in

Yeah when my time comes

And I'm dead and gone

Let em write it on my tombstone

He knew just enough to get in trouble

But not enough to leave it alone



Waylon always told me

Son everybody makes mistakes

And how come it's always me

Standing there when something breaks



Yeah I know just enough to get in trouble

And thats just enough to understand

That the more I know

The more I'm sure

Someday it's gonna do me in

Yeah when my time comes

And I'm dead and gone

Let em write it on my tombstone

Here lies just enough to get in trouble

But not enough to leave it alone



He knew just enough to get in trouble

But not quite enough to leave it alone
