Hailey Whitters – Everybody Oughta Lyrics

 

Everybody Oughta Lyrics by Hailey Whitters

 

Everybody oughta learn to ride a ten-speed
Take a curve too fast, get their first skinned knee
Everybody oughta wet a line in the creek
With their grandaddy

Everybody oughta catch a red set sun
Drink a store-warm beer before they turn twenty-one
Everybody oughta make a spring break run with eighteen dollars
Everybody oughta

Work a summer job, pour some whiskey in a glass
Keep a well-hid coffee can full of cash
Steal a long kiss in a downpour rain
Call an old friend, catch up on the old days
And make a little noise, smoke ’em if you got ’em
Laugh till it hurts, tell somebody that you love ’em
I ain’t sayin’ that everybody’s gotta
But man, everybody oughta

Everybody oughta have a broken heart
Learn that love ain’t just a walk in the park
Everybody oughta carve their names in the bark of an old oak tree

Yeah, everybody oughta have a take-it back song
A house where the porch light’s always on
Everybody oughta have a real good dog with the name on the collar
Yeah, everybody oughta

Work a summer job, pour some whiskey in a glass
Keep a well-hid coffee can full of cash
Steal a long kiss in a downpour rain
Call an old friend, catch up on the old days
And make a little noise, smoke ’em if you got ’em
Laugh till it hurts, tell somebody that you love ’em
I ain’t sayin’ that everybody’s gotta
But man, everybody oughta

Read a little good book word
Know when to walk a straight line
When everybody else swerves

Work a summer job, pour some whiskey in a glass
Keep a well-hid coffee can full of cash
Steal a long kiss in a downpour rain
Call an old friend, catch up on the old days
And make a little noise, smoke ’em if you got ’em
Laugh till it hurts, tell somebody that you love ’em
I ain’t sayin’ that everybody’s gotta
But man, everybody oughta

Everybody oughta
I ain’t sayin’ that you gotta
But man, everybody oughta
