Stay Away

Stay away from guitar pickers

Don't smoke and don't drink liquor

Cowboys are too hard to figure

They just stay gone

Run away from sweet troublemakers

Smiling honky tonk heartbreakers

Use the sense the good Lord gave you

And you can't go wrong

Mamas teach your baby girls

When they get out into this old world

Life's full of snares and pitfalls hiding in the night

There's all kinds of dark temptations

Rock and roll and cold libations

All you can do is say a prayer

And hope you raise them right

Tell em stay away from guitar pickers

Don't smoke and don't drink liquor

Cowboys are too hard to figure

They just stay gone

Run away from sweet troublemakers

 Smiling honky tonk heartbreakers

Use the sense the good Lord gave you

And you can't go wrong

Never trust those country singers

Them ole Rhinestone Texas swingers

Mamas warn your daughters while you can

Tell em stay away from guitar pickers

Don't smoke and don't drink liquor

Cowboys are too hard to figure

They just stay gone

Run away from sweet troublemakers

Smiling honky tonk heartbreakers

Use the sense the good Lord gave you

And you can't go wrong

Stay away from guitar pickers

Don't smoke and don't drink liquor

Cowboys are too hard to figure

They just stay gone gone

Run away from sweet troublemakers and

Smiling honky tonk steel players

Use the sense the good Lord gave you

And you can't go wrong

Use the sense the good Lord gave you

And you can't go

And you can't go

And you can't go wrong
