When youre young you think you know it all Yeah, youre hot rod cocky And you stand there like a man and say There aint nothin strong enough to stop me Til some beautiful girl bare legged and sandled Loosens the grip on everythin you had handled
You dont know how to drive til ya get behind the wheel And you dont know how to play until you finally take the field Well, you dont know how itll go, where itll end Until you cut the deal
You dont know what really matters until you risk it all Aint nothin thats worth winnin if losins not involved And if youre afraid to give away your heart And face what love brings, man, you dont know a thing
You got your life all planned out, sure looks good on paper Til your American dream smacks up against the risin cost of labor Cause they shipped off every job in your hometown And you learn how to survive when it all goes south
You dont know how to drive til ya get behind the wheel And you dont know how to play til you finally take the field Well, you dont know how itll go, where itll end Until you cut the deal
And you dont know what really matters until you risk it all Aint nothin thats worth winnin if losins not involved And if youre afraid to give away your heart And face what life brings, man, you dont know a thing
When youre on your knees all night for a child with a ragin fever And you realize this might be the last time you see her Life holds on and faith holds on and love holds that little tiny hand
You dont know how to drive til you get behind the wheel And you dont know how to pray until youre scared of what you feel And if youre afraid to give away your heart And face what life brings, man, you dont know a thing You dont know a thing, hey, you dont know a thing
