But I Did

[Verse 1]
I was born the oldest one with patience like my mother
The fire and heart of my father and a spirit of my own
A will to work and an eager mind that kept me out of trouble
Never one to dare double, I was honest to the bone

[Chorus]
And I didn't know
I didn't really know
I didn't really know what I was doin'
But I did

[Verse 2]
I was born a dreamer dead set on doin'
Shakin' and a-movin' far away from here
I found freedom in a melody and the girl(?) kept me grounded
My words, how they sounded like the flight of all my fears

[Chorus]
And I didn't know
I didn't really know
I didn't really know what I was doin'
But I did

[Bridge]
I live my life out on the highway
I'm gone so often I lose track
Though I won't forget just where I came from
I might not make it back

[Verse 1]
I was born the oldest one with patience like my mother
The fire and heart of my father and a spirit of my own

[Chorus]
And I don't know
I don't really know
I don't really know what I'm doin'
