Smokin’ the hive lyrics

Artist  : Randy travis 
Song : Smokin’ the hive
 
I was ten years old on my grandpa’s farm when it
happened
After all these years I can still hear grandpa
laughin’
As he applied that barnyard remedy
He passed his wisdom down to me
You don’t reach for the honey without smokin’ the
hive

I remember my first crush was on the preacher’s
daughter
We were smoochin’ on the front porch swing that
night when he caught her
We weren’t expectin’ him home until quarter past
ten
When the good lord taught me that lesson again
You don’t reach for the honey without smokin’ the
hive

You don’t point your pistol before you check each
chamber
And you don’t drink no you don’t drink when you
drive
It’s just ordinary common sense to avoid that
danger
You don’t reach for the honey without smokin’ the
hive

She rolled into town with rodeo,she was a beauty
And that cowboy saw you wink at her,she was a
cutie
The sound of jinglin’ spurs caught me dead on a
run
He was fit to be tied and you were under the gun
You don’t reach for the honey without smokin’ the
hive

Chorus.
No,you don’t reach for the honey without smokin’
the hive
You’re gonna get stung boy
