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
