Back When I Knew It All
Wisdom Unveiled: Navigating Life's Twists in 'Back When I Knew It All'
Lyrics
At the ripe old age of nineteen
Reflecting on experiences at the age of nineteen.
I bought a short bed pick up chicks machine
Purchased a small truck for attracting romantic partners.
Life ran on beer and gasoline
Life was fueled by beer and gasoline.
A half a lap ahead of the law
Stayed ahead of legal troubles, living on the edge.
I had a fake I d that got me into "tuffies"
Used a fake ID to enter tough places.
Love was a word I used to get lucky
Love was a tool for casual relationships.
Was a big time spender with that plastic money
Spent recklessly with credit cards.
Back when I knew it all
Nostalgia for a time when everything seemed clear.
Back when the world was flat and mama and daddy didn't have a clue
Nostalgia for a time when parents seemed clueless.
That was back
Referencing the past.
Back when a pitcher of beer and a couple shots made me bulletproof
Believed invincibility from alcohol.
Back when god was a name I used in vain to get a point across when I got ticked off
Used God's name casually in anger.
Lord I'm learning so much more
Expressing a realization of personal growth.
Than back when I knew it all
Acknowledging ignorance in the past.
I found out credit cards don't mean you're rich
Realized material wealth isn't defined by credit cards.
And beer and gasoline don't mix
Warning against the dangers of mixing alcohol and gasoline.
Yeah step side trucks can't jump a ditch
Recognizing limitations of certain vehicles.
And those " big house" rooms sure are small
Big houses can feel small and confining.
I've learned that love is a woman that will settle you down
Understanding the value of a stable relationship.
A Sunday sermon can turn life around
A positive impact of a Sunday sermon.
Man I can't believe all the answers I've found
Surprised by newfound wisdom and understanding.
Since, back when I knew it all
Nostalgia for a time when everything seemed clear.
Back when the world was flat and mama and daddy didn't have a clue
Nostalgia for a time when parents seemed clueless.
That was back
Referencing the past.
Back when a pitcher of beer and a couple shots made me bulletproof
Believed invincibility from alcohol.
Back when god was a name I used in vain to get a point across when I got ticked off
Used God's name casually in anger.
Lord I'm learning so much more
Expressing a realization of personal growth.
Than back when I knew it all
Acknowledging ignorance in the past.
I've done some growing up
Acknowledging ongoing personal growth.
And I'm still growing up
Continued self-awareness and development.
So I know I'll never be as smart as I once was
Recognizing that past wisdom may not match present understanding.
That was back
Referencing the past.
Back when the world was flat and mama and daddy didn't have a clue
Nostalgia for a time when parents seemed clueless.
That was back
Referencing the past.
Back when a pitcher of beer and a couple shots made me bulletproof
Believed invincibility from alcohol.
Back when god was a name I used in vain to get a point across when I got ticked off
Used God's name casually in anger.
Lord I'm learning so much more
Expressing a realization of personal growth.
Than back when I knew it all
Acknowledging ignorance in the past.
