Back When I Knew Everything

Oh, if I had a big 'ol eraser

I'd start from today

And go back through life's pages

And correct a lot of things

Yeah, steppin' on toes with my foot in my mouth

Yeah, thought I was the king

But that was back

Back when I knew everything

Yeah,a good hard head and no regrets

Is what I thought made the man

But now life's hard knocks is about all I've got

And sorry's what I am

Yeah,I had my old worn out opinion

Oh,and I sure made it plain

But that was back

Back when I knew everything

So what you say forgive and forget

One more chance is all I need

Yeah, this 'ol loose cannon is a mighty long shot

This time I'm askin' please

Yeah that's right I was wrong

Now all that I can say

Is that was back

Back when I knew everything

A little too big for a britcher

But life's a whittled me down to size

I just hope there's enough of me left to apologize

So what you say forgive and forget

One more chance is all I need

Yeah, this 'ol loose cannon is a mighty long shot

This time I'm askin' please

Yeah that's right I was wrong

Now all that I can say

Is that was back

Back when I knew everything

Oh, that was back

Back when I knew everything
