When In Rome From - My Honky Tonk History Well, you must be from the city 'Cause you sure ain't from round here There ain't no smoke free section We don't sell no import beer You been throwin' 'round that attitude Since you walked in that door I don't know where you come from But you ain't there anymore When in Rome You can do like the Romans But, when your down home You better do like us You been lookin' down your nose At our water tower town Ain't no one getting rich But, there's enough to go around If ya don't like Tracy's cookin' Well, ya best still leave a tip She's back there in that kitchen With a baby on her hip When in Rome You can do like the Romans But, when your down home You better do like us You put your best foot forward When you go to meet a man Look him in the eye And put a good grip on his hand Don't cuss around the ladies Tell us how to raise our kids We like doing business Like our daddies, daddies did When you drive off in your beamer If ya don't do thirty-five Don't give no lip to Buford Or he might just dot your eye And when your at the courthouse Before ol' Judge McCall You best not say a word About them commandments on his wall Naw When in Rome You can do like the Romans But, when your down home You better do like us Yeah, yeah yeah When in Rome You can do like the Romans But, when your down home You better do like us Mmm...hmm... Better do like us, boy Don't you come in here talking all that trash Ya just might get your nose smashed When in Rome You can do like the Romans |
