Lyrics
You Don't Know What You Don't Know
I knew I was in big trouble
A big dent in Dad's VW
To fix what I did wrong, I worked all summer long
At the VFW
I held that grudge - didn't understand
He was teaching me to become a man
He said, "Boy, someday you'll forget Math
Physics and Geometry
But you'll know when to take the easy path, or face the rocky road
But for now, you don't know what you don't know"
Again I was in big trouble
All night I'd been slamming doubles
Called my dad from the county jail, he said, "You stay in that cell
And tomorrow I might come get 'ya"
I held that grudge - didn't understand
He was teaching me to be a man
He said, "Boy, someday you'll forget Math
Physics and Geometry
But you'll know when to take the easy path, or face the rocky road
But for now, you don't know what you don't know"
When I found what I didn't know
I had a little buckaroo of my own
I've shared those words as he's grown
I tell him, "Boy, someday you'll forget Math
Physics and Geometry
But you'll know when to take the easy path, or face the rocky road
But for now, you don't know what you don't know"
"But for now, you don't know what you don't know"
