Back When I Knew Everything

[Verse 1]
I wrapped my Chevy 'round a telephone pole
One night out on Rock Bluff Road
It didn't hurt me but it sure scared my dad
He said, "Boy fast cars and drinkin' don't mix
You're gonna break something you can't fix"
Aw but I wasn't listening to that
I had a pack of smokes and I was cool as ol' James Dean
Back When I Knew Everything

[Chorus]
I was gonna live forever
I had nothing but time
Daddy just talked to hear himself rattle
And I just stood there rolling my eyes
I was living in my own world
Life was a party and love was girl in tight blue jeans
Back When I Knew Everything

[Verse 2]
I dropped a rose in the Alabama clay
And said goodbye to him today
Held my little girl's hand and sang Amazing Grace
Driving home I was thinkin' bout
All the years gone by and how
I wasn't much fun to raise
It wasn't easy dealing with me
Back When I Knew Everything

[Chorus]
I was gonna live forever
I had nothing but time
Daddy just talked to hear himself rattle
And I just stood there rolling my eyes
I was living in my own world
Life was a party and love was girl in tight blue jeans
Back When I Knew Everything

Yeah I Knew Everything
