"You Don't Know A Thing" by Steve Azar (Steve Azar/Radney Foster)

1st Verse

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
They' ain't nothin' strong enough to stop me
Until some beautiful girl, bare-legged and sandaled
Loosens a grip on everything you had handled

Chorus

Well, you don't know how to drive
'Til you get behind the wheel
And you don't know how to play
(Until) ('Til) you finally take the field
Well, you know know how it'll go
Where it'll end
Until you cut the deal
And 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) (life) brings
Man, you don't know a thing

2nd Verse

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

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

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

Tag Chorus

Well, 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
Yeah
