  • I didn't know Rocky Top played after every touchdown, every game
    'Til he took me there, I would have never cared
    I didn't know you could fall in love
    Tell yourself that he's the one
    Then change your mind and not know why
    It ripped my heart in two
    And you don't know 'til you do

    Now I know my voice might shake but I can say goodbye
    I can drive just fine with tears in my eyes
    Most people run back first night alone, but I don't
    Now I know I can feel like I'm dying but still be alive
    I can pick up the pieces one at a time
    Most people just settle for what they know, but I don't
    'Cause now I know

    I didn't know the biggest crime was wasting someone's precious time
    But when thirty hits, it starts sinking in
    Didn't think that I could walk away from something safe
    And dive straight into the unknown on my own
    But I drove down that road

    Now I know my voice might shake but I can say goodbye
    I can drive just fine with tears in my eyes
    Most people run back first night alone, but I don't
    Now I know I can feel like I'm dying but still be alive
    I can pick up the pieces one at a time
    Most people just settle for what they know, but I don't
    'Cause now I know
    Oh, now I know

    Now I know I can tough it out
    Now I know when I'm breaking down
    And I won't turn this car around
    Just because I called it home

    Now I know my voice might shake but I can say goodbye
    I can drive just fine with tears in my eyes
    Most people run back first night alone, but I don't
    Now I know I can feel like I'm dying but still be alive
    I can pick up the pieces one at a time
    Most people just settle for what they know, but I don't
    'Cause now I know
    Now I know
