Your dad is a wise man. This has been on full display the last several years and people are finally opening their eyes to this simple but powerful statement.

Every man has two heads on their body. It's always the small one that gets you in trouble.

"Easy lessons are easy to forget. The bloody ones stay with you."

"I'll worry about the mule going blind, you just load the wagon."

"Treat people the way you want them to treat your mama."

"Bruises heal faster than pride."

From an uncle I drove a tractor for in high school: "If you're gonna come to work drunk try to make it on time."

1. Don’t ever let another man outwork you

2. You can fall in love with a rich girl just as easily as a poor one

I’m pretty sure he was drunk & joking when he said the second one. I followed it on the first wife & it did not prove to be good advice. I did the opposite on the second wife & it’s the smartest thing I ever did

Some that stand out:

Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Never fukk with a man’s livelihood, son.

Find the problem. Solve it. The end.

Don’t be like me, son.

I love you son.

Make me proud, son.

You are a really good kid, Tiger.

Always be a gentleman, son. ( bad advice btw)

Just be yourself, son. (Also bad advice)

You were a Tiger out there today, son.

You can never really over dress son. You can definitely underdress.

Elbow grease, son. More elbow grease.

Ted Kennedy is a piece of shite, son.

The union mentality ensures mediocrity and inefficiency , son.

College is a racket, son.

Go get her, son.

Every woman is issued a deck of cards at birth . By age 26 they are only playing with half a deck. It gets worse from there. Remember that.

Don't call what you're wearing an outfit
Don't ever say your car is broke
Don't worry about losing your accent
A Southern man tells better jokes
Have fun, but stay clear of the needle
Call home on your sister's birthday
Don't tell 'em you're bigger than Jesus, don't give it away

People say get a real job support your family '
Cause there's no future on the road your takin'
But he never said a word, the dreamer just kept on
Late at night you could hear him say, he'd say

I'm gonna be somebody
One of these days I'm gonna break these chains
I'm gonna be somebody someday You can bet your hard-earned dollar I will

Wish I could give this 100 upvotes.

I’ll be seeing him in a couple of weeks at a festival. The Truckers play the next day. Maybe a reunion on stage?

You’re going to start running around in ever-diminishing circles until you disappear up your own a-hole.

Yeah, I used to have dreams.

Piss poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
