It's Who You Know

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

Lookin' for a corner she can hide in.

In life there ain't too many level playin' fields

And it don't seem fair, but here's the deal

Brother, here's the deal

You can walk on water

You can walk on the moon

You can walk through Memphis

Wearin' blue suede shoes

When the walkin' 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

Meet the man who owns it all

That's him there on the lobby wall

Don't it 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

Cleanin' up after him at night

And she prays someday that he'll see the light

Now I think she's got it right

You can walk on water

You can walk on the moon

You can walk through Memphis

Wearin' blue suede shoes

When the walkin' 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

At the end of the road

It's who you know

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

Wearin' blue suede shoes

When the walkin' is over

At the end of the road

It ain't what you've done, son

It's who you know,

It ain't what you've done, son

It's who you know
