[Verse 1]
I've been told by a friend
Or at least, I wish he was
That I should go and find the best
I'm not sure what that consists
Chances are it's not gonna find me first
Gonna have to open my eyes
Discover things I don't wanna find

[Chorus]
But if you're the smartest man in the room
You're hanging with the wrong people
Yeah, you're hanging with the wrong people

[Verse 2]
Ain't nothing wrong with knowin'
Way more than I should
That way, when I get the words
I'll know exactly where it hurts
Even though the comfort here feels like a home
I just can't stop right here
Still got a whole lot more years

[Chorus]
But if you're the smartest man in the room
You're hanging with the wrong people
Yeah, you're hanging with the wrong people
[Verse 3]
Maybe I took what you said just a little too far
Maybe I took it just far enough
To help me find my way up

[Chorus]
But if you're the smartest man in the room
You're hanging with the wrong people
Yeah, you're hanging with the wrong people
Yeah, you're hanging with the wrong
Hanging with the wrong people
