  • 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 Writer/s: GARY HANNAN, PHIL O'DONNELL, TRENT WILLMON
