[Verse 1]
They know how to tell you, "That loaded up Tacoma
It ain't gonna take you anywhere"
They know how to make you feel a little bit guilty
'Bout trying to get out of there
They know a guy that'll take you part time
Twelve fifty just starting out
They know it won't be very long
'Til you're turnin' that truck around

[Chorus]
And they know how to say you'll never make it on your own
Like they've got an "I told you so" they're savin'
For the day your fadin' red
Tail lights are headin' back home
And they know how to tell you it'll all go wrong
How to tell you that road's too long, too far
Too damn hard, boy, it ain't nowhere to go
But what do they know?

[Verse 2]
And they know how to tell you my shotgun seat's
No place for a girl like you
Know who to think I am, that I ain't the kind of man
You should tie your tomorrows to
And they know that we're settling because we ain't settling
Moving on don't mean moving up
Know that we're going too fast, never gonna last
But baby, they don't know us
[Chorus]
But they know how to say you'll never make it on your own
Like they've got an "I told you so" they're savin'
For the day your fadin' red
Tail lights are headin' back home
And they know how to tell you it'll all go wrong
How to tell you that road's too long, too far
Too damn hard, boy, it ain't nowhere to go
But what do they know?

[Refrain]
But what do they know?

[Bridge]
Well, they know my voice when they hear it on the radio
Station that they're playing back home
And they know all the words to the songs I'm singing
And they know they wanna sing along

[Chorus]
And they know how to say you'll never make it on your own
Like they've got an "I told you so" they're savin'
For the day your fadin' red
Tail lights are headed back home
And they know how to tell you it'll all go wrong
How to tell you that road's too long, too far
Too damn hard, boy, it ain't nowhere to go
But what do they know?
[Outro]
What do they know?
