Lyrics Back When I Knew It All (20 Years of Hits Version) - Brad Paisley

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 ID that got me into Tuffie′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

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, those 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
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

Well, I′ve done some growing up
And I'm still growing up
Though I know I'll never be as smart as I once was
Ah-ha-ha, no
That was back

When the world was flat
And mama and daddy didn′t have a clue
Way 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

Back when I knew it all
Back when I knew it all
