Verse
He said don’t worry about the radio
Keep both hands on the wheel
Don’t ever try to numb the truth
Cuz you don’t like how it feels
Boy I was just like you
Stubborn and head strong
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 them long way around
But I wound up learning a whole lot of something
From a man that didn’t know nothin’
Verse
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 kind of like that apple
We all know where it falls
It’s a damn good thing back then
That one 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 them long way around
But I wound up learning a whole lot of something
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 them long way around
But I wound up learning a whole lot of something
From a man that didn’t know nothin’
Outro
Yeah I sure learned something
From a man that didn’t know nothin’
