If You Have To Know

Got my head on my shoulders, my feet on the ground
 To keep from breakin' out of this blues side of town
 If you have to know... do you have to know
 I've been too far up, too far down, if you have to know
 They went and locked me up... for 47 days
 Wouldn't let me out and I wouldn't change my ways
 If you have to know... do you want to know
 I take what I get and I play where I stay... if you have to know
 I'm a runaway engine on a midnight line
 No destination and no track of time
 Ain't worried about yours, don't worry about mine
 If you have to know... since you have to know
 Well too many bars and too many nights
 Too many lefts and not enough rights
 If you have to know... do you have to know
 I'm the last one to leave and the first one to fight
 If you have to know
 Got a whole lot of women... a whole lot of beer
 Half outta whiskey and flat out of (Chester)fields
 If you have to know... do you have to know
 I got some kinda deal but it's all up to you
 If you have to know
