Nothin’ Better To Do Lyrics By Leann Rimes

    hung my cotton dress on rusted wire
    up there on pilahatchee
    just a crazy roughneck’s daughter
    jumped headfirst into the water
    baptized away my sins
    hitched to town with bobby jo and tommy
    couple of lookers new best friends
    we slipped in the back of sunday service
    know them church ladies they heard us
    bum smoke money from the offering

    mama said idle hands are devil’s handiwork
    oh the trouble you’ll get into
    you got nothin’ better to do got nothin’ better to do
    you got nothin’ better to do got nothin’ better to do
    yeah

    sign read ‘bait chips beer and ammunition’
    that slimjim bag boy hadn’t a prayer
    well i hiked my skirt and did the talkin’
    while them boys were busy walkin’
    case of 5 out the back door
    hid deep in the mississippi backwoods
    we danced and played around ’til dark
    well i had them wrestlin’ for my first kiss
    turned into a fight and they missed
    me speedin’ off in tommy’s car

    mama said idle hands are devil’s handiwork
    oh the trouble you’ll get into
    you got nothin’ better to do got nothin’ better to do
    you got nothin’ better to do got nothin’ better to do
    yeah

    nobody hurt nobody harmed
    nobody’s business but my own
    mama said idle hands are devil’s handiwork
    oh the trouble you’ll get into

    you got nothin’ better to do got nothin’ better to do
    you got nothin’ better to do got nothin’ better to do
    you got nothin’ better to do got nothin’ better to do
    you got nothin’ better to do got nothin’ better to do
    you got nothin’ better to do babe got nothin’ better to do
    you got nothin’ better to do babe you got nothin’ better to do no no
    got nothin’ better to do babe you got nothin’ better to do no no
    got nothin’ better to do babe you got nothin’ better to do no no
