Capo 2
G
Don't turn mailboxes into baseballs
G
Don't get busted selling at seventeen
D
Most thoughts deserve two or three more
G
Motor oil is motor oil, just keep your engine clean
D
Keep your eyes on the prize, everything will be fine
G
Long as you stay in school, stay off the hard stuff and keep between the lines
Don't burn two lanterns at the same time
No ship out on the water will pay your rent
Cause you live and you learn, sometimes you get burned
When you get out done got up, walked out the door and went
Do as I say, don't do as I've done
It don't have to be like a father, like his son
Don't let them try to upsell you
There's a reason they make chocolate and vanilla, too
If there's any doubt, there is no doubt
The gut don't never lie and the only word you'll ever need to know in life is "why"
Keep your head out of the clouds and remember to be kind
And just stay in school, stay off the drugs and keep between the lines
(Don't, don't sweat the small stuff)
(Can't sweat the small stuff)
(Don't sweat the small stuff)
