Common Sense Ain't Common Lyrics

Mama said don't let your tank get below half in the winter

And don't you worry child, everyone's a sinner

I put a benjamin in the glovebox for emergencies only

And if you're in a rut, don't give up, just go on and phone me

And nothing's easy, nothing's free

I guess that's how it's supposed to be

Been learning the hard way since I was damn near 3

Still moving on, trippin over my own feet

I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth

Cause common sense ain't common 'less you were raised like me

And Daddy said you only need a couple good friends

And if they don't work out, you've got yourself in the end

Don't half ass anything in this life

Be the worst or the best til the end of your time

And nothing's easy, nothing's free

I guess that's how it's supposed to be

Been learning the hard way since I was damn near 3

Still moving on, trippin over my own feet

I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth

Cause common sense ain't common 'less you were raised like me

And I'm still reckless, drivin 90 down the highway

Sometimes I forget I don't always get it my way

Rules ain't made to follow for this old soul

And I think you should know

That nothing's easy, nothing's free

That's the way it'll always be

Been learning the hard way since I was damn near 3

Still moving on, trippin over my own feet

I'm hanging on by the skin of my teeth

Cause common sense ain't common 'less you were raised like me
