One, two, three

Started workin' at a job layin' pipe up in Caroline
Got my little cousin Billy hired on and workin' by my side
Well, we'd work all day and stay out all night
And that's when I noticed his wandering eye
I don't wanna know what I know, 'cause I know it ain't good

Well, Billy's been married to Mrs. Rita for ten years now
She's hotter than a pistol and meaner than a cottonmouth
And if she ever caught wind of Billy runnin' around
She got a sweet. 44 that'd put him in the ground
I don't wanna know what I know, 'cause I know it ain't good

And Billy's on two phones, hidin' what he does for his thrills
While Rita's thinkin' Billy's making overtime to pay her bills
Billy's throwin' matches around in a house of wood, yeah
I don't wanna know what I know, 'cause I know it ain't good

Well, I love my cousin Billy, and he's always done me right
But he's brought me in the middle of his cheatin' and adulterous life
You know I don't wanna break up a man and his wife
But if there's one thing I hate, it's a man who's a liar
I don't wanna know what I know, 'cause I know it ain't good

Well, I don't wanna know what I know, 'cause I know it ain't good
