I TOLD YOU ONCE

Intro I told you once.

Verse 1 He slapped my shoulder like he owned it Spilled my beer across the wood Called me "old man" for his buddies Like loud's the same thing as good I wiped the bar down with my sleeve Set my bottle gentle-like Leaned in close so just he'd hear it Said it once, and said it right

Pre-Chorus I didn't blink I didn't stand I just said it Plain as a man can

Chorus I told you once — that's all I do One warning, friend, then I'm through I ain't mad, I'm just done After that, you're on your own I told you once

Verse 2 He laughed the way the drunk ones laugh Right up till the room went still I paid my tab before I stood Tipped her double for the spill Now he's restin' by the jukebox Face-down in the peanut shells Folks stepped over him politely Nobody asked me what the hell

Pre-Chorus He didn't blink He didn't stand He just learned it Fast as a man can

Chorus I told you once — that's all I do One warning, friend, then I'm through I ain't mad, I'm just done After that, you're on your own I told you once

Bridge My daddy never handed warnings Just the buckle, then the quiet I swore I'd deal a fairer hand Every man gets one. You spent it. I told you once — that's all I do (I told you once!) One warning, friend, then I'm through I ain't mad, I'm just done (I ain't mad!) After that, you're on your own I told you once

Outro After that... you were on your own.
