Brett Young - In Case You Didn't Know

There aren't many things that can make me sound like a grumpy old codger faster than listening to the new country music.  I'm not a fan.  Blast it all - those dang kids are back on my lawn ...

But The Queen Of The World is the Angel of my Better Nature, and she pointed out this song.  You see, she loves it, and that made me want to listen to it.  It reminds me a lot of the Allison Kraus version of "When You Say Nothing At All".  And suddenly I find that those dang kids only went onto my lawn to mow the grass.  They even bagged the clippings.

Brett Young was an up and coming College baseball pitcher when an injury put that career track on hold.  With time unexpectedly on his hands he took up songwriting.  This was from his first album in 2017, and it went triple platinum.  Clearly, The Queen Of The World and I were not the only fans.

Yeah, the new country music isn't often very good, but when it's good it's very good indeed.


In Case You Didn't Know (Songwriters: Brett Young, Trent Tomlinson, Tyler Reeve, Kyle Schlienger)
I can't count the times
I almost said what's on my mind
But I didn't

Just the other day
I wrote down all the things I'd say
But I couldn't
I just couldn't

Baby I know that you've been wondering
Mmm, so here goes nothing

In case you didn't know
Baby I'm crazy bout you
And I would be lying if I said
That I could live this life without you
Even though I don't tell you all the time
You had my heart a long long time ago
In case you didn't know

The way you look tonight
That second glass of wine
That did it, mmm

There was something bout that kiss
Girl it did me in
Got me thinking
I'm thinking

All of the things that I've been feeling
Mmm, it's time you hear em

In case you didn't know
Baby I'm crazy bout you
And I would be lying if I said
That I could live this life without you
Even though I don't tell you all the time
You had my heart a long long time ago
In case you didn't know

You've got all of me
I belong to you
Yeah, you're my everything

In case you didn't know
I'm crazy bout you
I would be lying if I said
That I could live this life without you
Even though I don't tell you all the time
You had my heart a long long time ago
Yeah, you had my heart a long long time ago, mmm
In case you didn't know, know, know
In case you didn't know
