Smokin' the Hive
Written by - Byron Hill & J. Remington Wilde
With - Clint Eastwood
From - Heroes and Friends
Randy:
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 barnyard remedy
He passed his wisdom down to me
You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive

Clint:
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

Both:
You don't point your pistol before you check each chamber
And you don't drink, no you don't drink when you drive
It's just ordinary common sense to avoid that danger
You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive

Clint:
She rolled into town with rodeo, she was a beauty
Randy:
And that cowboy saw you wink at her, she was a cutie
Clint:
The sound of jinglin' spurs caught me dead on a run
Randy:
He was fit to be tied and you were under the gun
Both:
You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive

Both:
You don't point your pistol before you check each chamber
And you don't drink, no you don't drink when you drive
It's just ordinary common sense to avoid that danger
You don't reach for the honey without smokin' the hive

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

Clint:
You're gonna get stung, boy
