What You Dont Know

Sometime while I was sleeping

we crossed into Virginia

I woke up and stepped out of the van

Ma'am, where�s the cigarettes?

She said, �Over there� with a southern drawl

I said do they all talk like you 'round here?

Chorus

Sometimes what you don't know can hurt you

Sometimes you can't see right from wrong

You're too blind to see

And too far down the road

and now she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

Crystalline and hazy

The memory is crazy

You never know the way that it might go

Like laughin' under summer trees

Or stayin' close when the branches freeze

I guess this is all I was ever supposed to know

Bridge

Somehow I'm gonna get up from this car wreck

Somehow I'll get up and walk away

After two months in intensive care

And half a year in God knows where

I am gonna pick up and move on

Last night while I was dreaming

My daddy came and spoke to me

He said, son ain't no man ever loved too good this way

All brain and no feelin'

gets you screwed into the ceiling

Don't try so hard to figure out what to say

Chorus

'Cause sometimes what you don't know, it won't hurt you

And it ain't so hard to see what's right from wrong

Just open up your eyes

And take off that disguise

Boy, the way you dramatize

won't make a heart that's wise

You're a man when you live inside your own skin

You're a man when you live inside your own skin
