[Intro] Mmm mmmm mmm Yeah [Verse 1] I don’t claim to be no prophet, Ain’t no scholar wearin’ a Gown But I walk this road with my eyes wide open, An’ my feet planted on the ground. [Blues harmonica solo] I don’t lose no sleep at midnight, ‘Bout the things I’ll never see, I take what I got, leave the rest to the wind, That’s good enough for me. mmmm Yeah! [Chorus] You know what you know, that’s enough to get by, No need to chase every truth in the sky. (ooooo) Don’t fret ‘bout the small stuff, let the worry roll slow, (Let it roll) What you don’t know won’t hurt you— You know what you know. (He knows what he knows) [Blues harmonica solo] [Verse 2] I keep my friends right here beside me, An’ my enemies closer still, I don’t waste my time on vengeance, But I’ll stand my ground at will. [Electric Blues harmonica solo] Like Dr. King done told us, Let that freedom bell ring true, When the good Lord calls my number, I’ll have nothin’ left to prove. [electric guitar solo] [Chorus] You know what you know, that’s enough to get by, No need to chase every truth in the sky. Don’t fret ‘bout the small stuff, let the worry roll slow, What you don’t know won’t hurt you— You know what you know. mmm mmmmm [Bridge] [fewer instruments] [Simple drums] Some folks chase shadows, Some folks chase gold, (only gold) Me, I’ll take the warm hand I can hold. Truth ain’t always shiny, (mmmm) But it’s steady and it’s real, An’ I ain’t afraid of the way I feel. (Yeah!) [musical interlude] mmm mmm oh Yeah...... [Final Chorus] You know what you know, and that’s a fine thing, Like Dr. King said, let freedom ring! Let it ring! (Let it ring!) Don’t fret ‘bout the small stuff, let the river just flow, (let it flow) What you don’t know won’t hurt you— You know what you know. (He knows what he knows) [Outro – Spoken] "Yeah… I know what I know. And, you know what? ...That’s enough for me." [Blues ending]
