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

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 shift 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
