[Verse 1]

1986 Harley

Blowing smoke and sucking oil

My daddy said, 'Buy it and you are crazy boy'

You cannot tell me nothing

It took two months to fix it up

And one day to lay her down

I got a little hitch in my get-along now

You cannot tell me nothing

[Chorus]

Talk is cheap and free advice

Is worth the price you pay

I had to find out for myself the hard way

You cannot tell me nothing

[Verse 2]

Hometown homecoming sweetheart

Nobody thought I had a prayer

Her mama said, Boy, do not you come around here

Cannot tell me nothing

They say be careful what you wish for

I want to be her man

Two babies and a trailer later here I am

Cannot tell me nothing

[Chorus]

Talk is cheap and free advice

Is worth the price you pay

I had to find out for myself the hard way

You cannot tell me nothing

[Verse 3]

They say drinking will kill you

The same thing for rolling smokes

But that is two of the three things that I like most

Cannot tell me nothing

I know what the good book preaches

But I know how I am

I just hope somebody up there understands

Cannot tell me nothing
