"I wish you'd watch what you're saying",
where's that line coming from?
You and I both know
you didn't get that one
all by yourself.

Looking back when your times were hard,
you grabbed a piece of self help
straight off the shelf,
straight off the shelf.

So watch your preachin'
if what you're singing doesn't come
straight from yourself,
straight from yourself.

Don't need a cross on the wall
that's ever gonna tell me where I'm going.
Don't need a helpin' hand
to make my words stick.
You've got to live it to say it,
you've got to make it come
straight from yourself,
straight from yourself.

So watch your preachin'
if what you're saying doesn't come
straight from yourself,
straight from yourself.

SOLO

Straight from yourself,
you're gonna pay those dues no mind.
Straight from yourself,
even if you're feeling she's that cheatin' kind.

And party lines, they're so fun at times
when you don't know where they're going.
I'll serve you up my best
when you come on back around
and five drinks into your life story
just if the mood is right.
I'm gonna speak straight from myself,
straight from myself.

So watch your preachin'
if what you're singing doesn't come
straight from yourself,
straight from yourself.
