Wade Bowen - Before These Walls Were Blue Lyrics

The world says you're ready when you're eighteen
Well I was no exception to the rule.
Eager to try my hand at proving that I was a man
Not an ounce of fear in anything I do.

Yeah I thought I knew it all
Turns out I didn't have a clue
Before these walls were blue.

Well I remember sitting there in that old rocker
Reading, trying to get you back to sleep.
Well I'd find myself, laughing at you laughin'
Wishing the hands of time that I could cheat

Yeah I thought that I knew love
Turns out I didn't have a clue
Before these walls were blue.

I believe in heaven, I believe in magic
I believe in the life inside these walls.
Now I believe
In dinosaurs and toy trains and baseball
What are you gonna be for Halloween?
I'll be the villain, and you be the hero
You save the day the way that you saved me

Yeah I thought I knew myself,
Turns out I didn't have a clue
Before these walls were blue.
