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 
I know what the cards say, sometimes the hard way, it
                G
 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    
Something I shouldn't do, why you already knew, 
                        G
that's all been taught to me
       C                     F                   C    
I know just enough to get in trouble and that is just 
               G
enough to understand
         C               F                 C        
That the more I know the more I'm sure someday it's 
            G
gonna do me in
          C                     G                      
Yeah when my time comes and I'm dead and gone. Let 'em 
C                F
put it on my tombstone
        C                     F            G          
He knew just enough to get in trouble, but not enough 
             C
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'

Chorus

Instrumental

Bridge:
F                                          
Waylon always told me \"Son, everybody makes 
     C
mistakes.\"
F                                              
But, how come it's always me standing there when 
            C
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
