Bend but Don't Break Lyrics

Bend but don't Break give befor you take
Always look em right in the eye
no cord G F C G
These are words to live by.
Jim proposed to sue she said I do
they eloped into a summer's night
Heading for Loredo that's the way wind blew
They got in their first real fight.
Standing at the alter shoe's and her halter
Jim sweating out his Sunday best
Looking all around them but nobody found them
And this is what the preacher said
Bend but don't break give before you take
Always look em right in the eye
Always have a reason dress right for the seaon
C G(stop)
Never cheat and never lie
G F C G (2x's) Repeat from 1st G
Thes are words to live by
Billy's washing dishes and all the time he wishes
he could find a better way
yea and no season had rain for a country singer
bound for a life of that foutune and fame
He wrote a couple songs and they got a long
into the hands of a bad Nashville man
Playin on the radio and he ain't never seen no doe
looks back down at them ugly pots and pans
You know time in our life are nervous and reckless
Sometimes it's hard just to get by
Ain't good to know that we can still grow.
So gimme one word ad tell me one time
Always me and mother and never were no other
Daddy died when I was just three
Always understood that she did the best she could
I needed someone right there momma would be
I never thought twice to ask for advise
when I got crazy in my head
What ever the cause she would slowly pause
C(stop)
And this is what momma said.
Chorus (2x)
