Song lyrics

Don't turn mailboxes into baseballs,
Don't get busted selling at seventeen,
Most thoughts deserve about two or three more,
Motoroil is motoroil,
Just keep your engine clean,
Keep your eyes on the prize,
Everything will be fine,
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 your 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.
