[Verse 1]
I'm all in to live and let live and mindin' my own
So when you tell me I have had enough, it kinda rubs me wrong
Well, I appreciate your concern, but I got a little fuse left to burn

[Chorus]
Don't tell me how to drink, don't tell me how to lose my mind
'Cause, cousin, this country boy can still rock and roll 'til it's closin' time
Brother, I've spilled more on a barroom floor than you've ever had
So let me do my thing and don't tell me how to drink

[Verse 2]
Now you could say I'm not the man I used to be
There's things I did that I can't do as frequently
But don't be talkin' at me like a fool and think I won't take your ass to school

[Chorus]
Don't tell me how to drink, don't tell me how to lose my mind
'Cause, cousin, this country boy can still rock and roll 'til it's closin' time
Brother, I've spilled more on a barroom floor than you've ever had
So let me do my thing and don't tell me how to drink

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Don't tell me how to drink, don't tell me how to lose my mind
'Cause, cousin, this country boy can still rock and roll 'til it's closin' time
Brother, I've spilled more on a barroom floor than you've ever had
So let me do my thing, don't tell me how to drink
