At the ripe old age of nineteen
|
I bought a short bed pick up chicks machine
|
Life ran on beer and gasoline
|
A half a lap ahead of the law
|
I had a fake I d that got me into "tuffies"
|
Love was a word I used to get lucky
|
Was a big time spender with that plastic money
|
Back when I knew it all
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Back when the world was flat and mama and daddy didn't have a clue
|
That was back......
|
Back when a pitcher of beer and a couple shots made me bulletproof
|
Back when god was a name I used in vain to get a point across when
|
I got ticked off
|
Lord I'm learning so much more......than back when I knew it all
|
|
I found out credit cards don't mean you're rich
|
And beer and gasoline don't mix
|
Yeah step side trucks can't jump a ditch
|
And those " big house" rooms sure are small
|
I've learned that love is a woman that will settle you down
|
A sunday sermon can turn life around
|
Man I can't believe all the answers I've found
|
Since ....back when I knew it all
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Br.... I've done some growing up
|
And I'm still growing up
|
So I know I'll never be as smart as I once was
|
That was back.......
|
|
[Chorus]
|
