Intro:
This is another songâ¦its not on any of my records or anything but Iâve been playing it at live shows for awhile. I wrote it to try and teach an important moral lesson about promiscuous sex. Itâs called uhâ¦uh You Canât Judge a Book by its Cover. Listen carefully and you might learn something tonight.
Verse 1:
He was 24, she was just 16. He met her out at a club, took her home and they got down if you know what I mean. Yeah she was lying about her age and he didnât have a clue she was just in the 10th grade. Not until the cops took him away.

Chorus:
