I'd like to tell y'all a story
About a friend of mine
Who liked to drink good whiskey oh Lord
And have a real good time
His woman you know she left him
And stole that boy's brand new car
And ran out of town with a guitar picker
I said he gonna be a superstar sure you are
You can't alway trust your woman
Well you can't always trust your best friend
Beware of the ones that you need y'all
'Cause they might be the ones that do you in
Don't talk no stuff to no slicker
Don't tell your feelings to your friends
Don't tell your woman that you love her because
That's when your trouble begins
There are many ladies here among us
That'll stab you in the back when you ain't around
There are many so many of your very best friends
That'll kick you in the head when you are down yes they will
You can't always trust your woman
Well you can't always trust your best friend
And beware of the ones that you need y'all
'Cause they might be the ones that do you in
Now don't you backtalk the police
'Cause it's his job to put you in the jail
They'll lock you up boy and throw away the key
And your best friend won't even draw your bail
There are many slickster's here among us
That are all dressed up in suits and ties
But don't you feel your pain Lord in front of them
Till you do you'll kiss yourself goodnight alright
You can't always trust your woman
You can't always trust you best friend
And beware of the ones that you need y'all
'Cause they might be the ones that do you in
Do it again
