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

CHORUS

So whaddya say forgive and foget

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

Bridge

A little too big for my britcher

But life's a whittled me down to size

I just hope there's enough of me left

To apologize

(Repeat chorus)

Oh, that was back

Back when I knew everything
