You Never Know

Good memories of time gone by
Sweet friendships that never die
Will always be there when you grow tired
Don't swim against the current
Because your arms will grow tired
Just float there and let the water pass the time
'Cause you never know what life throws at you
So don't tell me that you know the secret
'Cause you don't know me and I don't know you
Yeah, I'll tell you when I get there
And if I knew, I'd be lying, too
Well preachers preach and liars lie
Burglars steal and smokers get high
They're not better or worse than you or I
Ya don't swim against the current
Because your arms will grow tired
Just float there and let the water pass the time
'Cause you never know what life throws at you
So don't tell me that you know the secret
'Cause you don't know me and I don't know you
Yeah, I'll tell you when I get there
And if I knew, I'd be lying, too
And don't give up on anything
'Cause I need you around here for a while
And don't give in to anything
Just forget about it out and smile
It's been two years since he's gone
I write these words
I sing this song
Some preacher says he knows what's going on
'Cause you never know what life throws at you
So don't tell me that you know the secret
'Cause you don't know me and I don't know you
Yeah, I'll tell you when I get there
And if I knew, I'd be lying, too
I'd be lying, too
I'd be lying, too
I'd be lying
