He was 5 foot 7 
 Strong as an Oak tree 
 Yeah he had a good reason 
 for every lick he gave me 
 But he showed me the ropes 
 Good whiskey and smoke 
 And how to tell a dirty joke 

 I had a good teacher 
 Half devil, half preacher 
 He made me a believer 
 I had a good teacher, teacher 
 Oh Yeah! 

 She was 6 foot 1 
 Shakin' that money thing 
 I was high school dumb 
 when I had my first tall one 
 But she gave me a sip 
 and a kiss on the lips 
 She let me give her one more 

 I had a good teacher 
 Man you should've seen her 
 She made me a believer 
 Oh Lord I had a good teacher, teacher 
 Oh Yeah! 

 I graduated from the school of hard knocks yeah 
 Learned from the best all the tricks to get by 
 But I gotta give credit where credit is due 
 I wasn't born no fool 

 I had a good teacher 
 really good teacher 

 Oh! 
 I had a good 
 I had a good 

 I had a good teacher 
 Half devil, half preacher 
 He made me a believer 
 Lord I had a good teacher, teacher 

 She was my teacher 
 She was a really good teacher 
 She made me a believer 
 Lord I had some good teachers 
 Some really good teachers!
