Its Who You Know by Trace Adkins Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The quarterback down at the school
Makes all the rules 'cause he's super cool
And everybody wants to be just like him
There's a little girl in his homeroom class
Sits in the back 'cause she thinks she's fat
Looking for a corner she can hide in
In life there ain't too many level playing fields
And it doesn't seem fair, but here's the deal
Brother, here's the deal
[Chorus]
You can walk on water
You can walk on the moon
You can walk through Memphis
Wearing blue suede shoes
When the walking is over
At the end of the road
It ain't what you've done, son
It's who you know
Yeah, it's who you know
[Verse 2]
Meet the man who owns it all
That's him there on the lobby wall
Don't he look like he's been carved from granite
His hands are soft, his heart is hard
And he only smokes the best cigars
And you'll call him Sir
'Cause he's earned it, damn it
There's a little old lady
Cleaning up after him at night
And she prays someday that he'll see the light
Man I think she's got it right
[Chorus]
You can walk on water
You can walk on the moon
You can walk through Memphis
Wearing blue suede shoes
When the walking is over
At the end of the road
It ain't what you've done, son
It's who you know
Yeah yeah, it's who you know
[Bridge]
At the end of the road
It's who you know
[Chorus]
You can walk on water (Yes, it's who you know)
You can walk on the moon (He's the man with the plan)
You can walk through Memphis (He's the one that knows)
Wearing blue suede shoes (We serve an awesome God)
When the walking is over (In Him we will move and have our bed)
At the end of the road (He's got the way already made)
It ain't what you've done, son (We just don't know about it)
It ain't what you've done, son (Proverbs 23:12 says "Apply your heart to instruction and your ear to words of knowledge" and then walk therein)
It's who you know (No man knows the day brother when he shall return, Matthew 19:24 says "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom"
You've got to [?] your own foundation
[?]
He's the prophet to help in the time of trouble, yes He is, oh yes He is
He's the one to know)
