[Intro]  
D
[Chorus]
When you're yGoung you think you know it all
Yeah, you're hot-rod cDocky
And you stGand there like a man and say
They ain't nothin' strong enough to sDtop me
Until some bBmeautiful gAirl
Bare-legged and sGandaled
Loosens a gBmrip on evAerything you had hGandled
[Verse]
Well, you don't kDnow how to drive
'Til you get behind the wheel
And you don't kBmnow how to play
Until you finally take the field
Well yGou don't know how it'll go
Where it'll end, until you cut the dDeal
And you don't kDnow what really matters
Until you risk it all
Ain't nBmothing that's worth winnin'
If losin's not involved
And if yGou're afraid to give away your heart
And face what lovAe brings
Man, you don't know a thDingA  
[Verse]
You got your lGife all planned out
Sure looks good on pDaper
'Til your AmGerican dream smacks up against
The risin' cost of Dlabor
'Cause they shipped Bmoff every jAob 
In your hometGown
And you learn Bmhow to survAive 
When it all goGes south
[Verse]
Well, you don't kDnow how to drive
'Til you get behind the wheel
And you don't kBmnow how to play
'Til you finally take the field
Well yGou don't know how it'll go
Where it'll end, until you cut the dDeal
And you don't kDnow what really matters
Until you risk it all
Ain't nBmothing that's worth winnin'
If losin's not involved
And if yGou're afraid to give away your heart
And face what lovAe brings
Man, you don't know a thDingBm  G  A  
[Chorus]
When you're Don your knees all night
With a child with a ragin' fever
And you rEm7ealize this might be
The last time you see her
BmLife holds on, and fAaith holds on
And lGove holds that little tiny hand
[Outro]
Well, you don't kDnow how to drive
'Til you get behind the wheel
And you don't kBmnow how to pray
Until you're scared of what you feel
And if yoGu're afraid to give away your heart
And face what liAfe brings
Man, you don't know a thDing
You don't know a tBmhing
Hey, you don't know a thGing
YDeah

Em7

[Intro]

[Chorus]

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

Bm A

Until some beautiful girl

Bare-legged and sandaled

Bm A G

Loosens a grip on everything you had handled

[Verse]

Well, you don't know how to drive

'Til you get behind the wheel

And you don't know how to play

Until you finally take the field

Well you don't 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 nothing that's worth winnin'

If losin's not involved

And if you're afraid to give away your heart

And face what love brings

D A

Man, you don't know a thing

[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

Bm A

'Cause they shipped off every job

In your hometown

Bm A

And you learn how to survive

When it all goes south

[Verse]

Well, you don't know how to drive

'Til you 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

And you don't know what really matters

Until you risk it all

Ain't nothing that's worth winnin'

If losin's not involved

And if you're afraid to give away your heart

And face what love brings

D Bm G A

Man, you don't know a thing

[Chorus]

When you're on your knees all night

With a child with a ragin' fever

Em7

And you realize this might be

The last time you see her

Bm A

Life holds on, and faith holds on

And love holds that little tiny hand

[Outro]

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
