Travis Randy — Smokin’ The Hive

Verse 1: (Randy Travis) 
          A  
     I was ten years old on my grandpa's farm when it happened 
                                                         E  
     After all these years i can still hear grandpa laughin' 
               A   
     As he applied that barnyard remedy 
             D 
     He passed his wisdom down to me 
              A                       E                  A       
     You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive 
 
Verse 2: (Clint Eastwood) 
          A  
     I remember my first crush was on the preacher's daughter 
                   E 
     We were smoochin' on the front porch swing that night 
     when he caught her 
                    A 
     We weren't expectin' him home until quarter past ten 
                   D 
     When the good Lord taught me that lesson again 
              A                       E                  A  
     You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive 
 
Chorus: (Randy Travis, Clint Eastwood) 
         A             D                                   A      
     You don't point your pistol before you check each chamber 
                  E                                        A  
     And you don't drink no you don't drink when you drive 
                   D                                    A  F#m 
     It's just ordinary common sense to avoid that danger 
              A                       E                   A 
     You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive

                       A 
     The sound of jinglin' spurs caught me dead on a run 
                 D            
     He was fit to be tied and you were under the gun 
              A                       E                  A
