I Don't Know Lyrics

I might get drunk and rob a bank,
shoot my car if it don't crank
Try to raise a little Cain,
mess the walls up with some paint

Might even join a rodeo,
ride my horse to Buffalo,
change my name to Bill -
I don't think I ever will

But I can't promise you I won't
Some people do, some people don't
Some people win, some people lose
Some people never get to choose

All you can do is the best you can
and hope things work out like you plan
I plan to stay but I might go
I can't say cause I don't know.

(Instrumental break)

I might become the president
and tell the world I'm heaven sent
Take up drinking cold iced tea,
quit watching women and tv

Might even smoke those cigarettes,
play my guitar like Dickey Betts
Get in miss Shania's pants -
I don't think I've got a chance

But I ain't sayin' I won't try
to do it all before I die
I just might win, but if I lose,
well I'll just blame it on the booze

Cause I'm just doin the best I can,
and I hope ya understand
I plan to stay, but I might go
and if I do, I told you so

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
