A Man That Didn't Know Nothin'

He said, "Don't worry about 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"

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, it took the long way around

But I wound up learning a whole lot of something

From a man that didn't know nothing

I 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

We all know where it falls

It's a damn good thing back then

That one of us knew it all

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, it took the long way around

But I wound up learning a whole lot of something

From a man that didn't know nothing

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

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, it took the long way around

But I wound up learning a whole lot of something

From a man that didn't know nothing

Guess you learned something

From a man that didn't know nothing
