You told me not to drink or fight
or hold the hand of another man's wife
and always make it home before the sun comes up at dawn
you told me to work and save
and I'd have it all some day
and never spend those cold grey nights all alone

(chorus)
But big brother you talk so loud
about all the bad things you've done
I'd do as you say not you do but it sure seemed fun

You told me to keep my head in school
and follow those senseless rules
and never let my heart stray too far from home
you told me not to mess around
in those beer joints south of town
where a man can break his heart if not everyone of his bones

(repeat chorus)
