Guy Clark Good Advice lyrics

In one ear and out the other,
Just like talking to your mother.
If it's not one thing, it's another,
That you can count on.

I've heard it all more than once,
Not again, oh Jesus Christ.
The funny thing about good advice is
Everybody's got some.

Good advice is hard to take,
Bad habits are hard to break.
Good sense is hard to make,
Good advice is hard to take.

Life's such a bitter pill,
Swallow it down with a shot of pride,
And as pebble just step outside.
They say no turn can run and hide,

You gotta draw the line somewhere.

Don't give me no advice [?]
I've heard it all a thousand times.
Don't start bridging between the lines,
Give me something I can use.

Good advice is hard to take,
Bad habits are hard to break.
Good sense is hard to make,
Good advice is hard to take.

Good advice is hard to take,
Bad habits are hard to break.
Good sense is hard to make,
Good advice is hard to take.
