Pipe Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wanna know the truth? Well, I wrote it down
I got a PhD in thinkin' out loud
No book to buy, it's more like a list
It ain't long, kinda goes like this

[Chorus]
Tell it like it is, don't sugarcoat it
Take it to the bank so you can't blow it
Use a little duct tape if you done broke it
When it don't start, you might have to choke it
If it gets too tall, you can just mow it
Ain't tall enough, sit back and grow it
And if you gotta drawl, you best just own it
So put a little "y'all" in your pipe and smoke it

[Verse 2]
Can't find a barstool, just find a porch
Hell, whiskey's cheaper at the liquor store
When life gets you down, go buy a dog
And in the end, you'll be better off

[Chorus]
If you tell it like it is, don't sugarcoat it
Take it to thе bank so you can't blow it
Use a little duct tape if you donе broke it
When it don't start, you might have to choke it
If it gets too tall, you can just mow it
Ain't tall enough, sit back and grow it
And if you gotta drawl, you best just own it
So put a little "y'all" in your pipe and smoke it
[Bridge]
(Whoo, whoo)
Yeah, hit that for me one more time
(Whoo, whoo)

[Chorus]
And if it gets too tall, you can just mow it
Ain't tall enough, sit back and grow it
And if you gotta drawl, you best just own it
So put a little "y'all" in your pipe and smoke it

[Outro]
Smoke it
Smoke it
Smoke it

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Lainey Wilson say about "Pipe"?
Genius Answer

If I could describe ‘Pipe’ in three words, I would say it’s my redneck rulebook. Words to live by. I walked into Luke Dick’s studio. He has a garage set up behind his house. And I had never met him either. This was the first time we wrote. He was smoking a pipe just right there in the middle of his studio, just lighting that thing up. I was like, ‘What is this man doing?’ but like, ‘This is my kind of people. He don’t give two shits what I think. It’s kind of awesome.’ In my head, I was just sitting there looking at him like, ‘He is unapologetically himself, and I love it.’ I was thinking, ‘Well, put a little bit of that in your pipe and smoke it.’ I actually said it out loud to him. I said, ‘Have you written that?’ He said, ‘No, but that’s what we’re writing today.’
