| I was ten years old on my grandpa’s farm when it happened
|
| After all these years i can still hear grandpa laughin'
|
| As he applied that barnyard remedy
|
| He passed his wisdom down to me
|
| You don’t reach for the honey without smokin' the hive
|
| I remember my first crush was on the preacher’s daughter
|
| We were smoochin' on the front porch swing that night when he caught her
|
| We weren’t expectin' him home until quarter past ten
|
| When the good Lord taught me that lesson again
|
| You don’t reach for the honey without smokin' the hive
|
| You don’t point your pistol before you check each chamber
|
| And you don’t drink no you don’t drink when you drive
|
| It’s just ordinary common sense to avoid that danger
|
| You don’t reach for the honey without smokin' the hive
|
| She rolled into town with rodeo, she was a beauty
|
| And that cowboy saw you wink at her, she was a cutie
|
| The sound of jinglin' spurs caught me dead on a run
|
| He was fit to be tied and you were under the gun
|
| You don’t reach for the honey without smokin' the hive
|
| No, you don’t reach for the honey without smokin' the hive
|
| You’re gonna get stung boy |
