That's All I Know

Album: Growing Up Is Getting Old (2009)

  • I think honesty is right, think lying is wrong.
    I think Willy and Haggard wrote some awful good songs.
    I think God rides around with the radio on, in a ragged ole truck just like mine.
    I don't think it's as bad as the newspaper says.
    I think Vegas is rigged, But then I wouldn't
    Bet on these theories and thoughts rollin' round in my head,
    Cause they change and they turn on a dime.

    [Chorus:]
    But I know there's a sun and at night there's a moon.
    I get cold in December and sunburned in June.
    This ole world keeps turnin'
    Time it ain't movin, it's slow!
    There's a woman that loves me like nobody can.
    She's my reason for livin', the reason I am
    The luckiest man in the world.
    And that's all I know.

    I think taxes are high, think politics stink.
    But old Uncle Sam don't give a damn what I think.
    And I don't believe worms ought to be in a drink,
    But I swallowed once on a dare.
    Think there's only one Beatles and Elvis is dead.
    And I don't believe half of the stuff we been feed,
    From the spoons in the hands of those ole talkin' heads
    I'm not even sure that I care.

    [Chorus]

    I've got a family that loves me like nobody can.
    They're my reason for livin', the reason I am
    The luckiest man in the world
    I'm the luckiest man in the world!
    And that's all I know.
    That's all I know
    That's all I know! Writer/s: CASEY BEATHARD, JASON CARROLL, PAUL OVERSTREET
