Lyrics
My Daddy told me you gotta have fun
Some days you fight 'em
And some days you run
Be your own man
But fill your neighbour's cup
And it's a fine line
Between too much and enough
He had his first drink when he was fourteen
It loosened him up
You know what I mean
Years later the bottle
Wouldn't give him up
And it's a fine line
Between too much and enough
One fateful evening when out at a bar
He met a woman
And he went too far
Then my mother
She took a knife and carved him up
It's a fine line
Between too much and enough
My mother told me I feel for you son
But you weren't married
To the son of a gun
Such a charmer
But then again he drove me nuts
It's a fine line
Between too much and enough
So follow your heart and do what you must
Take a life out
With someone you trust
But remember
Temptation can be tough
And it's a fine line
Between too much and enough
