A Man That Didn’t Know Nothin’

[Verse 1]
He said
"Don't worry bout the radio, keep both hands on the wheel
Don't ever try to numb the truth 'cause you don't like how it feels
Boy, I was just like you, stubborn and headstrong
So I'm sure you're gonna do your best to prove me wrong"

[Chorus]
And I did
I got a lot of hard-knock lessons
Yeah, I did
And I probably second guessed him
A few more times than I can count
Yeah, I took the long way around
But I wound up learnin' a whole lot of somethin'
From a man that didn't know nothin'

[Verse 2]
I've picked up my share of scars, beat myself black and blue
He never said "I told you so," guess he didn't have to
But it's kinda like that apple, wе all know where it falls
It's a damn good thing back then that onе of us knew it all

[Chorus]
And I did
I got a lot of hard-knock lessons
Yeah, I did
And I probably second guessed him
A few more times than I can count
Yeah, I took the long way around
But I wound up learnin' a whole lot of somethin'
From a man that didn't know nothin'

[Bridge]
I tried like hell not to break and he wasn't 'bout to bend
I never thought I'd grow up to be so much like him

[Chorus]
But I did
I got a lot of hard-knock lessons
Yeah, I did
And I probably second guessed him
A few more times than I can count
Yeah, I took the long way around
But I wound up learnin' a whole lot of somethin'
From a man that didn't know nothin'

[Outro]
Yeah, I sure learned somethin'
From a man that didn't know nothin'
