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   That's all been taught to me      I know just enough to get in trouble   And that's 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   That's complicated stuff   And when it comes to love, I'm still learning      I know just enough to get in trouble   And that's 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 that's 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
