Songwriters: Trent Willmon, Phil O'Donnell & Gary Hannan
Intro:
VERSE 1
At the ripe old age of nineteen
I bought a short bed pickup chicks 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
CHORUS:
Back when the world was flat and
Mama and Daddy didn't have a clue
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
VERSE 2
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
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
BRIDGE:
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
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
