Back When I Knew It All Songtext
von 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 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'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


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
