My good buddy asked me, "Danny, why don't you drink?"
And I said, "It's probably better I don't"
He said, "There's a lotta girls in this bar here that we can chase"
I said, "Trust me, it's probably better I don't"

So I used to be an all nighter
I'm a kid of a backslider
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 favorite shoes

So it's better I don't, believe me I will, hey
I get looser than a line on that old fishing reel
Baby, don't stop, don't think I won't
Take it all off, turn it all on
Get half crazy, jealous and stoned
And it's better I don't

Well, I was wearing the cuffs, when the warden said, "Just tell me the truth"
And I said, "Jace, it's probably better I don't"
I was up on the stand and the judge said, "Just tell me what happened, man?"
And I said, "Molly, it's probably better I don't"

Since you asked me… I was mindin' my own business at a hundred and five
I was county road cruising around the green traffic lights
But I was on the home stretch, I was roundin' that last curve
Well, I ran outta gas, and that's when I learned

And it's better I don't, believe me I will
I get looser than a line on your fishing reel
Baby, don't stop, don't think I won't
Take it all off, turn it all on
Get jealous, half crazy and stoned
It's better I don't

Now there are things I don't remember
There are things that I said something
But I don't know the half of what I got to play

And it's better I don't, believe me I will
Yeah, I get looser than a line on that fishing reel
Baby, don't stop, don't think I won't
Take it all off, turn it all on
Get buck wild, crazy and stoned
Drunk dial somebody on the phone
Drink too much wine and drive a Nissan home
It's better I don't
Yeah, it's better I don't
Yeah, it's better I don't
