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
