What Do They Know

They know how to tell you, "That loaded up Tacoma

It ain't gonna take you anywhere"

They know how to make you feel a little bit guilty

'Bout trying to get out of there

They know a guy that'll take you part time

Twelve fifty just starting out

They know it won't be very long

'Til you're turnin' that truck around

And they know how to say you'll never make it on your own

Like they've got an "I told you so" they're savin'

For the day your fadin' red tail lights are headin' back home

And they know how to tell you it'll all go wrong

How to tell you that road's too long, too far

Too damn hard, boy, it ain't nowhere to go

But what do they know?

They know how to tell you my shotgun seat's no place for a girl like you

Know who to think I am, that I ain't the kind of man

You should tie your tomorrows to

And they know that we're settling because we ain't settling

Moving on don't mean moving up

Know that we're going too fast, never gonna last

But baby, they don't know us

They know how to say you'll never make it on your own

Like they've got an "I told you so" they're savin'

For the day your fadin' red tail lights are headin' back home

And they know how to tell you it'll all go wrong

How to tell you that road's too long, too far

Too damn hard, boy, it ain't nowhere to go

But what do they know?

But what do they know?

Well, they know my voice when they hear it on the radio station

That they're playing back home

And they know all the words to the songs I'm singing

And they know they wanna sing along

And they know how to say you'll never make it on your own

Like they've got an "I told you so" they're savin'

For the day your fadin' red tail lights are headed back home

And they know how to tell you it'll all go wrong

How to tell you that road's too long, too far

Too damn hard, boy, it ain't nowhere to go

But what do they know?

What do they know?
