Don't Chu Know
Written by - Jimmy Buffett, Russ Kunkel, Jay Oliver, Roger Guth & Peter Mayer

You can spend all your days in the grind 
Converting your nickels to dimes 
You could stuff all your pockets till they overflow 
Don chu know 
Don chu know 
Don chu know 

You can say you're too old to be young 
You think you're too smart to be dumb 
But the well-seasoned pro knows how long he can go 
Don chu know 
Don chu know 
Don chu know 

You can sing every song that's been sung 
Offer the moon and the sun 
But if you ask me it's all been both said and been done 

We're just recycled history machines 
Cavemen in faded blue jeans 
It's the unanswered question in each one of us 
Don chu know 
Don chu know 
Don chu know 

The more we learn the less we know 
What you keep is what you can't let go 
Take it fast or take it slow 
Just one way for you to go 
Don chu know 

Let's go now 

You can sing every song that's been sung 
Offer the moon and the sun 
But if you ask me it's not in the race that you run 

It's that outcast in each one of us 
Who get's the girl that is too glamorous 
There's no one to deceive it's just all make believe 
Don chu know 
Don chu know 
Don chu know 
Oh...
Don chu know 
Don chu know 
Don chu know 

Don chu know 
Don chu know 
Don chu know 

I don't know 
I don't know 

Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I can name that song in, in two notes.
It's another one of those songs that I've written about not knowing 
much, or not knowing what I was doing, or not knowing where I was going, 
or not knowing where I'd been. Yeah, Frank Bama once said the best 
navigators are not quite sure where they're going until they get there...
and then they're still not sure. But I know one thing...Indecision may or 
may not be my problem. And this song is gone way too long, and it's, 
she's gettin out of control, and Oh My God!...
