Smokin' The Hive Lyrics - Randy Travis

I was ten years old on my grandpa's farm when it happened 

After all these years I can still hear Grandpa laughin' 

As he applied that barn yard remedy 

He passed his wisdom down to me 

You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive 

I remember my first crush was on the preacher's daughter 

We were smoochin' on the front porch swing 

That night when he caught her 

We weren't expectin' him home until quarter past ten 

When the good Lord, taught me that lesson again 

You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive

You don't point a pistol before you check each chamber 

An' you don't drink, no, you don't drink when you drive 

It's just a ordinary common sense to avoid that danger 

You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive 

Well, she rolled into town with rodeo, she was a beauty 

And that cowboy saw you wink at her, she was a cutie 

The sound of jinglin' spurs caught me dead on a run 

He was fit to be tied an' you were under the gun 

You don't reach for that honey without smokin' the hive

You don't point a pistol before you check each chamber 

And you don't drink, no, you don't drink when you drive 

It's just a ordinary common sense to avoid that danger 

And you don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive 

No, you don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive 

You're gonna get stung boy
