Damn all those people who don't lose control
Who will never take a foot out of life
You might not think that I care
But you don't know what I know
And damn all those hippies
Who stomp empty footed
Upon all that's good
All that's pure in the world
You might not care what I think
But you don't know what I know
And bless all those mothers
Who do all they can
Just to take their thoughts out of the line
I might not know what it's like
But I'm glad that you know
Give me a minute there
Just a minute now
It'll come back to me
I was so sure that you
Free wheelin' troubadour
You took my mind off the sea
And you know I know I know
I know that you know
You asked me blind once
If I was a child once
And I said I'm really not sure
How can you know
How can you know
What it is you don't know
