Johnathan East Free Advice
Look toward the future and stop livin' in the past
Don't ever count your chickens out before they hatch
Stay out of situations that are none of your concern
Don't ever tell a stripper you've got money to burn
Keep your nose to the grind and your mind out of the gutter
Go light on the salt and take it easy on the butter.
Stay away from drugs that will send you to prison
Don't ever mix tequila with irrational decisions
Don't let ‘em see you sweat, for Heaven sakes don't cry
If you love your neighbor's wife, you better be prepared to die
Sometimes the right road is the hardest one to see
If she tells you she's 18, you better ask for some I.D.
(Chorus)
It's just some free advice. You can take it, or leave it.
I've been all around the world and son I do believe
It ain't the highly educated you should strive to be
It's the ones that make the most mistakes that wind up like me
That's the ones that are the smartest you see.
Don't mistake success with your personal possessions
If you're feeling down and lonely, son just, count your blessings
Don't waste your money on cheap women and booze
They'll both leave you broke and brother, any way you lose
You'll never find true love in a honky tonk dive
Don't ever tell a redneck that Elvis ain't alive.
Forget about the people that you can't seem to change
Don't ever bet it all on a late night poker game
And if you ever need a lawyer, well don't be scared to get it
Don't risk your life on a public defendant
Don't come home drunk with a tramp stamp tattoo
If you're pushing 250, skinny jeans are not for you.
(Repeat Chorus)
Now I don't know all the secrets to life.
There's some things that I still ain't got right.
I've done some livin', been lost and found.
Took every bad road that a man can go down.
I've dodged some bullets, well you can too.
Just listen to the words that I'm singin' to you.
(Repeat Chorus)
