Lyrics:
catfish on the line so i hold it for a time and I'm trying not to let it go
although it's gonna rain the sun will shine again it always seems to come and go
and when it turns december the frost will cool the embers of the fire burning down below
and i'll clear another year with a little bit of cheer and i'll come upon the things I know
the things i know that my mama taught me
the things i know that are in my head
the things i know that the time has brought me
the things i know that my daddy said
oh i can't get along unless i sing a song
so i sing about the things i know
I'm a grown man working on a plan reaching down from far below
there's a thing or two I see there's a wall inside of me and I'm trying just to let it go
there's a ringing in the air something up a stairs a little room that no one knows
there's a little bit of charm in the one that's in my arms as I come upon the thing I know
the things i know that are in the papers
the things i know that are on tv
the things i know when it stands to reason
the things i know when its time to leave
oh i can't get along
unless i sing a song
so i sing about the things i know
hard times good times even in between times always seem to come my way
it's always up and down but knowing when I frown the days will surely slip away
there's a big wide open gate and I better not be late cause its bound to close like most thing do
and there's someone up above the keeps the world a hum and takes us all to something new
the things i know that I'm taken lightly
the things I know that I mostly dread
the time I know when I'm talking rightly 
the things i know that are left unsaid
oh i can't get along
unless i sing a song
so i sing about the things i know
oh i can't get along
unless i sing a song
so i sing about the things i know
