Question
There was a song by a male singer that came out about 3 maybe 4 years ago.  The premise of the song is he as learned a lot of things about life and is telling people advise.  The second verse talks about him playing high school football and he blew out his knee.  Then he talks about not making it in the military.  The refrain I belive one of the pieces he passes is on is not to drink the water in Mexico.  If you can figure out and tell me the name of the artist that would be great.  Shannon

Answer
Hi Shannon!  I think the song you may be looking for is "Don't Ask Me How I Know," by Bobby Pinson.  Hope this helps!

Album: Man Like Me

Don’t ride your bike off a ramp that’s more than three bricks high
Don’t take that candy from the store if you ain’t got the dime
Don’t pick a fight with a little guy that doesn’t talk that much
Don’t pick up a cherrybomb thinkin’ it’s a dud
And don’t sneak out of a 2 story house usin’ bed sheets for a rope
Don’t ask me how I know

(Chorus:)
Sell your truck while it’s still runnin’, save the Jesus off the dash
Say a prayer when you feel like cussin’, save your money - pay with cash
Forget your pride, buy the roses, if you’re sorry tell her so
Don’t drink the water in Mexico
Don’t ask me how I know

Don’t quit your high school football team halfway through the season
Don’t bust your buddy in the nose when you know he didn’t mean it
Don’t lose a girl you love at home for a night in Panama City
Don’t rush off the phone when your Mama calls - you ain’t that busy
Ya oughta make that drive to say goodbye to your grampa ‘fore he goes
Don’t ask me how I know

(Chorus)

Forget your pride buy the roses, if you love her tell her so,
Don’t go to Vegas with your heart broke,
Don’t bum your cousin for that first smoke
I'm tellin' ya, don't drink the water in Mexico
Don't ask me how I know
Don't ask me how I know

I just know

Sell your truck while it's still runnin', say a prayer when you feel like cussin'
I know
