Back When I Knew It All

Back When I Knew It All - Montgomery Gentry

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

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 the new world war

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'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

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

Back when I knew it all
