lyrics

Don’t Hold Me To It

If you lend me a nickel I’ll give you a dime
I’ll sign my name on the dotted line
Swear an oath on my mama’s name
She don’t care much all the same

(chorus) And memory serves the moment for me
So everything I say I do believe
But don’t hold me to it
Don’t hold me to it

I can build a house with my own two hands
Blow my horn like Shamarr can
Woo and win every woman I see
Cuz when we’re making love baby I’m a dream

(chorus)

It ain’t that complicated
It’s just another tall tale
But you got to keep it separated
Before the court hauls you to jail
Don’t testify a lie
Don’t you testify a lie

You got to do what you say and say what you do
Live your life like mama told you to
And when it’s time to go you better pack it in
Don’t stay out looking for that whiskey sin

But memory serves the moment for me
so everything I say I do believe
I heard the truth can set you free
But don’t hold me to it
Don’t hold me to it
