Whatcha Know Good

Blackberry Smoke's song 'Whatcha Know Good' is a celebration of positivity, simplicity, and a laid-back approach to life. The lyrics invite listeners to join in a carefree, joyful experience, emphasizing that one doesn't need to be perfect or skilled to enjoy life. The lines 'Come on down if you get the chance / Stay awhile roll up your pants / You don't have to know how to dance / Just follow your heart and your soul' suggest that life is about following one's heart and soul, rather than adhering to societal expectations or pressures.

The song also promotes a sense of unity and love for all people, regardless of differences. The verse 'I don't lean one way or the other / I love all of my sisters and brothers / You can read me cover to cover / But all that you need to know' highlights the artist's inclusive and accepting nature. This message is further reinforced by the refrain 'I don't worry / Don't get in a hurry / Ain't no reason to fight / If the fish don't bite,' which encourages a relaxed and peaceful mindset, free from unnecessary conflict and stress.

Moreover, 'Whatcha Know Good' underscores the importance of gratitude and finding joy in the simple things. The lyrics 'I give thanks for the Sun and the rain / Hitch my wagon to the gravy train / If this old world goes up in flames / The river's gonna flow on through' reflect a deep appreciation for life's natural elements and a belief in resilience and continuity. The song's overall message is one of rejecting negativity and embracing a positive, uncomplicated way of living, as encapsulated in the repeated request, 'Don't bring me no bad news / The only thing that I ask of you / One time if you could / Whatcha know good.'
