[Verse 1]
Only write about what you know
Only hang with people that all know you
Say it all like gospel truth
Only write about what you know

[Verse 2]
Only hang with people that you know
Only write about where you go play
Well, I'd be scared to hear that song
But I'd be scared to death

[Chorus]
I wouldn't mind if you tore a tiny piece of your backyard
It's all that way
Hold in that laugh
Save it all for books and magazines
All on fire

[Bridge]
Only write about what you know
Only write about what you know
Well, I'd be scared to hear that sentence
I'd be scared of you

[Chorus]
I wouldn't mind if you tore a tiny piece of your backyard
It's all that way
Hold in that laugh
Save it all for books and magazines
They're all on fire
