JJ Lawhorn's song "You Don't Know Me Very Well" is a country anthem that celebrates the rural lifestyle and traditional values of farming and hunting. The song touches on the idea of people judging him without knowing him well enough. If you think he would trade his grand daddy's truck for a shiny new one or part ways with his guns without a fight, you don't know him very well. He also sings about the idea that his farm will never be for sale, indicating his strong ties to his family's land. He also challenges the idea that there is a better country in the world, stating his love and loyalty to his own country. He also addresses the idea that people might assume he is uneducated and rough, indicated by the line "If you look at me and see a plow boy and nothing else." Ultimately, the song is a celebration of his rural identity and a rejection of any assumptions or judgments made about him by those who don't know him well enough. He embraces his rough hands from working on the farm and proudly supports the troops. Overall, it's a song about being true to oneself and living life on your own terms.
