Montgomery Gentry - Back When I Knew It All Lyrics

At the ripe ol’ age of nineteen
I bought a short-bed pick-up-chick machine
Life ran on beer and gasoline
A half a lap ahead of the law
I had a fake ID that got me into Tuffy’s
“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 Mom 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, and 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’ll settle you down
A Sunday sermon can turn life around
And I can’t believe answers I’ve found
Since back when I knew it all

Back when the world was flat
And Mom 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 Mom and Daddy didn’t have a clue
Way 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
