C 
I been down my share of country roads, boulevards and interstates 
C                        
Kinda know my way around a little about a lot of things 
G                          F                       C                 G 
I know what the cards say, sometimes the hard way, it looks so easy 
C 
My curiosity always gets me in a ditch 
C  
What really happens if you turn that knob or flip that switch 
G                         F                     C                            G 
Something I shouldn't do, why you already knew, that's all been taught to me 
       C                     F                   C                   G  
I know just enough to get in trouble and that is just enough to understand 
         C               F                 C                    G    
That the more I know the more I'm sure someday it's gonna do me in 
          C                     G                      C                F   
Yeah when my time comes and I'm dead and gone. Let 'em put it on my tombstone 
        C                     F            G                       C 
He knew just enough to get in trouble, but not enough to leave it alone  
They've got a book somewhere on everything a woman wants 
'bout how and when and where and why they will and why they won't 
That's complicated stuff and when it comes to love, I'm still learnin'

Instrumental 
 
Bridge: 
F                                               C 
Waylon always told me \"Son, everybody makes mistakes.\" 
F                                                          C 
But, how come it's always me standing there when something breaks. 
 
 
Chorus 
Last line of chorus: 
Here lies just enough to get in trouble, but not enough to leave it alone. 
He knew just enough to get in trouble, not quite enough to leave it alooooone
