Know Yourself ft. Joy Chen & Tommy Neuner Lyrics

As I sit behind the wheel

Of my rusty Bronco truck

I just don't know what to feel

So I turn the key and I fire it up

It was an open casket wake

Just laying there at peace

Nobody else in the whole wide world

Could see what I could be

They say, Don't you get too smart

Trudge the mud. Pull that cart

But my uncle opened up his heart to me

There's a whole wide world for you to see

Don't just drive from A to B

'Cause knowledge really is the only wealth

So know yourself!

Well I listened to my folks

Just working while I wait

Law job's lined up in early May

So I'll work job I hate

Bye guys, thank you, have a great night!

Standing at the register

Before the cafe's morning rush

When a hobo walks in with a broken grin

And asked me for a cup

I said, Only if you pay

Take your cart, be on your way

But he just smiled and laughed at me

There's a whole wide world for you to see

Don't just drive from A to B

You gotta take that book from off the shelf

Climb mountains out across the sea

There's more to life than Tennessee

'Cause knowledge really is the only wealth

So know yourself!

So I filled him up a cup

And asked him where he's been

Said he served his time in the Korean War

Been trucking ever since

When he asked me why I'm here

I told him this is where I was born

Got family here and friends who care

I'm in a rut well worn

And I'm thinkin' I'm due for a change

My friends can wait, my pressure gauge

Is about to blow, my heart's about to melt

So Uncle Gary, here I come!

A round-the-world trip for one

I'll take a chance, and play the cards I'm dealt

There's a whole wide world for you to see

Don't just drive from A to B

You gotta take that book from off the shelf, oh!

Climb mountains out across the sea

There's more to life than Tennessee

'Cause knowledge really is the only wealth

So know yourself!

Know yourself!
