Sometime while I was sleeping
we crossed into Virginia
I woke up and stepped out of the van
Ma'am, where�s the cigarettes?
She said, �Over there� with a southern drawl
I said do they all talk like you 'round here?
Chorus
Sometimes what you don't know can hurt you
Sometimes you can't see right from wrong
You're too blind to see
And too far down the road
and now she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Crystalline and hazy
The memory is crazy
You never know the way that it might go
Like laughin' under summer trees
Or stayin' close when the branches freeze
I guess this is all I was ever supposed to know
Bridge
Somehow I'm gonna get up from this car wreck
Somehow I'll get up and walk away
After two months in intensive care
And half a year in God knows where
I am gonna pick up and move on
Last night while I was dreaming
My daddy came and spoke to me
He said, son ain't no man ever loved too good this way
All brain and no feelin'
gets you screwed into the ceiling
Don't try so hard to figure out what to say
Chorus
'Cause sometimes what you don't know, it won't hurt you
And it ain't so hard to see what's right from wrong
Just open up your eyes
And take off that disguise
Boy, the way you dramatize
won't make a heart that's wise
You're a man when you live inside your own skin
You're a man when you live inside your own skin
