Ought to Know

Ought to Know - Blackberry Smoke

You throw caution to the wind

You toss everyone aside

Put it on your lucky number

And you let it all ride

I can't tell you nothing

That you don't already know

You're bangin' on the dashboard

Is this as fast as it'll go

You ought to know by now

Ought to know by now

It's gonna drag you down

You ought to know by now

We've heard all the stories

First you trip and then you fall

You don't heed no warning

You've probably seen it all

We watched you from the cheap seats

With the whole world in your hand

Your time is running out now

Like so many grains of sand

You ought to know by now

You ought to know by now

It's gonna drag you down

Ought to know by now

Yeah by now

I've seen you light up the sky

You had the fire in your eyes

I guess it's just a matter of time

Till you reach the end

The end of your line

Your line

You ought to know by now

You ought to know by now

It's gonna drag you down

Ought to know by now

Yeah by now
