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]
