He said, "There's a lotta girls in this here bar that we could chase"
I said, "Trust me"
It's probably better I don't
Cause I used to be an all nighter
I'm a hell of a back slider
I've been around the block more than a time or two
And I can promise you
I've drank my weight in booze
And I've been known to get on stage in nothing but my boots
So it's better I don't, Cause believe me I will
I get looser than a line on a fishing reel
Dare me don't do, don't think I won't,
take it all off, turn it all on
Get buck wild, hell bent, and stoned It's better I don't

Well I was wearing the cuffs, when the warden said, "Just tell me the truth"
And I said, "Sir, it's probably better I don't"
And I was up on the stand, and the judge said, "Just tell me what happened man"
And I said, "Buddy it's probably better I don't, but since you asked"
I was mindin' my own business at a hundred and five
I was a county road cruisin'
out running the blue lights
I was on the home stretch,
I was roundin' that last curve,
Well I ran out of gas and that's when I learn
It's better I don't, cause believe me I will
I get looser than a line on a fishing reel
Dare me don't do, don't think I won't, take it all off, turn it all on
Get buck wild, hell bent, and stoned.
It's better I don't
Now there's things I don't remember,
There's things that I do
But I don't know the half of what I got into
And it's better I don't, cause believe me I will
I get looser than a line on your fishing reel
Dare me don't do, don't think I won't take it all off, turn it all on
Get buck wild, hell bent, and stoned.
Drunk dial somebody on the phone
Drink too many beers and drive a Harley home
It's better I don't,
yeah it's better I don't
yeah it's better I don'tLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Better I Don't Lyrics

My good buddy asked me... "Buddy why don't you drink?"
And I said, "It's probably better I don't"
He said, "There's a lotta girls in this here bar that we could chase"
I said, "Trust me"
It's probably better I don't
Cause I used to be an all nighter
I'm a hell of a back slider
I've been around the block more than a time or two
And I can promise you
I've drank my weight in booze
And I've been known to get on stage in nothing but my boots
So it's better I don't, Cause believe me I will
I get looser than a line on a fishing reel
Dare me don't do, don't think I won't,
take it all off, turn it all on
Get buck wild, hell bent, and stoned It's better I don't

Well I was wearing the cuffs, when the warden said, "Just tell me the truth"
And I said, "Sir, it's probably better I don't"
And I was up on the stand, and the judge said, "Just tell me what happened man"
And I said, "Buddy it's probably better I don't, but since you asked"
I was mindin' my own business at a hundred and five
I was a county road cruisin'
out running the blue lights
I was on the home stretch,
I was roundin' that last curve,
Well I ran out of gas and that's when I learn
It's better I don't, cause believe me I will
I get looser than a line on a fishing reel
Dare me don't do, don't think I won't, take it all off, turn it all on
Get buck wild, hell bent, and stoned.
It's better I don't
Now there's things I don't remember,
There's things that I do
But I don't know the half of what I got into
And it's better I don't, cause believe me I will
I get looser than a line on your fishing reel
Dare me don't do, don't think I won't take it all off, turn it all on
Get buck wild, hell bent, and stoned.
Drunk dial somebody on the phone
Drink too many beers and drive a Harley home
It's better I don't,
yeah it's better I don't
yeah it's better I don't

The Missouri-born Chris Janson has electrified Nashville's country music scene. In fact, it only took two days at a local Nashville bar to incite a wave of interest from country music's biggest record labels. It could be his intense and vocally stunning performances, his remarkable ability to play the harmonica, or the depth of his songs, but there is something remarkable about this 21 year-old phenomenon. Chris' budding music career has even taken him to the big screen, when legendary film director Johnathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, Stop Making Sense) invited him to participate in "Heart of Gold" a documentary capturing Neil Young's 2-night performance at the Historic Ryman Auditorium. Asked to describe his sound, Chris replies that it combines "elements of rock & roll, folk, blues, roots music, and vintage country." Nashville's critics been buzzing with excitement about this emerging star, and have even likened him to a combination of Mick Jagger and Hank Williams Sr. Chris readily acknowledges his influences, but he has a confidence in his identity that transcends his age. "I want to sound like Chris Janson," he says, "It's just what you see on stage, that's what you'll get on my record. I'm not afraid to push the limits. I don't have a set list at my shows, I just play songs. It's all about soul and feel". And as all great country music stars and rock & roll legends are marked by their authenticity and originality, Chris Janson is on that same path toward greatness. Read more on Last.fm.
