When I was a boy
About 10 years old
I went swimming in the fishing hole
Floating around in my birthday suit
When a friend turned over my inner-tube
I said a four letter word
And my heart sank
When mama snuck up
And screamed from the bank
Chorus:
Don't make me have to come in there
You'd rather tangle with a grizzly bear
You got about a minute
To get out here
Don't make me have to come in there
Boy, don't make me have to come in there
Barely 16 when I borrowed the car
Started to a movie
Ended up at a bar
With a fake I.D. I got in
And ordered a round for all my friends
Took a little sip
Then spit it on the floor
When I heard daddy holler from the front door
Chorus:
Don't make me have to come in there
You'd rather tangle with a grizzly bear
You got about a minute
To get out here
Don't make me have to come in there
Son now don't make me have to come in there
Last night I was down at The Do Drop Inn
Talking to an old girlfriend
My little woman gave me a call
When I said hello she began to squall
Don't you lie to me
You're not alone
I'm right outside on my cellular phone
Chorus:
Don't make me have to come in there
You'd rather tangle with a grizzly bear
You got about a minute
To get out here
Don't make me have to come in there
You better not make me have to come in there
Don't make me have to come in there
You'd rather tangle with a grizzly bear
You got about a minute
To get out here
Don't make me have to come in there
Friend, don't you make me have to come in there
