     C      G                            G                 F    C
They ask me why you wanna ride around in some old, beat-up truck

    G                            G                  F     C
And why you wanna mix your Billy Strings and Thunderstruck

G                                 G              F    C
What's up with them old boots and all that natty light

    G                             G
And how come you go honky-tonkin' every Friday night
[Chorus]
       C         G
If you know, you know

       C          G
If you don't, you don't

       C                          G              C
It's a country kind of thing that I just can't explain

                                   D
You gotta feel it way down in your soul

       F  C      G     G F C G   G F
If you know, you know
[Verse 2]
     C      G
They ask me why you got a flat pick on that old [?]

                                                  F  C
And why you gotta roll that smoky tip, that Mason Jar

    G                                                  C
And why you puttin' all those miles on that old people bus

   G
If they can't understand, yeah, then they ain't one of us
[Chorus]
       C         G
If you know, you know

       C          G
If you don't, you don't

       C                          G              C
It's a country kind of thing that I just can't explain

                                   D
You gotta feel it way down in your soul

       F  C      G
If you know, you know

G
Aww... here we go
[Instrumental Break] F C G F C G F C D [Verse 3]
            G
They ask us why you gotta love them girls

     G                    F  C
They say "hell yeah" and "y'all"

    G                             G                  F   C
And what makes 'em so sexy comin' from a town that's small

    G                                     G               F   C
And why you let 'em break your heart with just one little grin

     G                          G
Son, if you ever met one, you'd never ask again
[Chorus]
       C         G
If you know, you know

       C          G
If you don't, you don't

       C                          G              C
It's a country kind of thing that I just can't explain

                                   D
You gotta feel it way down in your soul

       F  C      G
If you know, you know

       F  C      G    G F
If you know, you know
