I bet you didn't know that one day I'd be gone, leaving you alone
While I face a dozen spotlights, you're crying at home, and I'm just out having a good time
You sit by the phone, you think I'm alone, wishing I could be there, but the music got me traveling on
All over the globe we're going, so many shows performing, and I know, it's true, you're missing me

Nobody ever told me anything more, about love and what not to love for
Well, I think I know something about it
Like the air and the music I breathe, like the blood flowing under my sleeves
Baby, I know something about it

I took a walk to assess and arrange the situation, situation
You never know when it's gonna be your turn to go, you know that time is ticking
But I stay relaxed, I keep it cool, I made mistakes, I know the rules, and it's true
Ain't nothing gonna bring me down
So follow me, I'm picking up steam, if love is a mess then I am a cleaner
I am a country, I am a city and you are the rain, I love that you're with me, ohh
I am an island in the middle of the sea, you are the sunshine, come rise upon me now
And I know it's true

Nobody ever told me anything more, about love and what not to love for
Well, I think I know something about it
Like the air and the music I breathe, like the blood flowing under my sleeves
Baby, I know something about it

Mama had guns but she didn't mean to hurt you
Promised you a life and I'm the one she turned to
Don't know much, but I'm-a give you what you need
Don't know love, and loving don't know about me
But I feel all right, I feel okay
Never let you down, and I'm here to stay
I'm just like that truck rolling down that hill
Lost all of my brakes, I'm in control still
And I never been better, loving the warm weather
Leave us in the dark and you'll surely regret it
Gonna make it real nice for the people upstairs
Make it real nice for people everywhere
The young man said, never give up the fight
Never give up the fight, and you know it's true

Nobody ever told me anything more, about love and what not to love for
Well, I think I know something about it
Like the air and the music I breathe, like the blood flowing under my sleeves
Baby, I know something about it
