George Hamilton Iv - If You Don't Know I Ain't Gonna Tell You lyrics

rate me

Well back in the country in my hometown I'm the coolest fastest man around

I got a hot rod car and you oughta see it run

I went out ridin' with a friend of mine we started passin' everybody way down the line

And I felt pretty good and boy we was havin' fun

Suddenly I didn't feel so fine cause a highway cop pulled up behind

So I asked my friend if the cop was after me

He just sat there shakin' all over like ol' Elvis Presley and said

Well if you don't know I ain't gonna tell you from now on it's up to you fellow

Words don't count at a time like this

There was a little blonde lived down on the corner

All the boys thought that she was a goner

So I got me a date and we went for a ride one night

We rolled along and I held her hand I felt just like a grown up man

Till she stood over close and hugged me up real tight

I started to stop to get out and run but I didn't wanna miss out on all the fun

So I asked her to teach me to spoon beneath the moon

She just looked up at me and winked them big beautiful blue eyes and said

Well if you don't know I ain't gonna tell you from now on it's up to you fellow

Words don't count at a time like this

[ guitar ]

Well I finally wised up and I learned all the tricks

And now I'm the coolest cat in the sticks

And I've got more gals than anybody else I know

I drink white lightnin' and I travel mighty far

I like pretty gals and souped up cars

I'm a travelling man and I'm always on the go

There's some bootleg liquor bein' sold in town

And the sheriff's been huntin' all around

But nobody knows who the manufacturer is

You ask me why I drive a hot rod coupe DeLuxe

With three carburetors straight stick ship souped up engine

High compression heads and overdrive hu

You don't know I ain't gonna tell you from now on it's up to you fellow

I think you know just what I'm talking about
