lyrics

Now Jimmy Joe, he's from Alabama
Drivin' to work singin' a happy song
Then he looks in his rearview mirror
Says, "This day's startin' out all wrong"

The officer who pulled him over
After a discussion of cousins and friends
Said, "If you'd been wearing your seatbelt,
I wouldn't have to take you in"

What you don't know won't hurt you 'til you find it out
What you think you know prob'ly ain't all true
If I had a dime for every time I'd been surprised
I'd have lost it in the market crash just like you

When he finally gets to work that Monday
The boss, he's outside smokin'
Before Jimmy gets to say a word
The boss says, "I ain't jokin'

I've told you at least ten times before
I'd fire you if you showed up late
That's it, pack your stuff, get on outta' here
You're fired, be gone, don't you hesitate"

What you don't know won't hurt you 'til you find it out
What you think you know prob'ly ain't all true
If I had a dime for every time I'd been surprised
I'd have lost it in the market crash just like you

So Jimmy Joe, he heads on home
Stops a way on down the street
Lily Bell, she's to be workin' in the yard
He needs some time to find his feet

But wait a minute, I don't see her there
In fact there's a car parked in the drive
It's not her girlfriend from across town
Don't know who'd be here at eleven-o-five

What you don't know won't hurt you 'til you find it out
What you think you know prob'ly ain't all true
If I had a dime for every time I'd been surprised
I'd have lost it in the market crash just like you

Me and Jimmy Joe wonderin' what to do
