when you’re young you think you know it all yeah you’re hot rod cocky and you stand there like a man and say there ain’t nothin’ strong enough to stop me ‘til some beautiful girl bare legged and sandled loosens the grip on everything you had handled
you don’t know how to drive ‘til ya’ get behind the wheel and you don’t know how to play ‘til you finally take the field well you don’t know how it’ll go where it’ll end until you cut the deal you don’t know what really matters until you risk it all ain’t nothin’ that’s worth winnin’ if losin’s not involved and if you’re afraid to give away your heart and face what love brings man you don’t know a thing
you got your life all planned out sure looks good on paper ‘til your american dream smacks up against the rising cost of labor ’cause they shipped off every job in your hometown and you learn how to survive when it all goes south
you don’t know how to drive ‘til ya’ get behind the wheel and you don’t know howto play ‘til you finally take the field well you don’t know how it’ll go where it’ll end until you cut the deal you don’t know what really matters until you risk it all ain’t nothin’ that’s worth winnin’ if losin’s not involved and if you’re afraid to give away your heart and face what life brings man you don’t know a thing
when you’re 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 don’t know how to drive ‘til you get behind the wheel and you don’t know how to pray until you’re scared of what you feel and if you’re afraid to give away your heart and face what life brings man you don’t know a thing you don’t know a thing hey you don’t know a thing
