VERSE 1
D A Em G
At the ripe old age of nineteen
D A G
I bought a short bed pickup chicks machine
D A Em G
Life ran on beer and gasoline
G A
A half a lap ahead of the law
D A Em G
I had a fake ID that got me into Tuffy’s
D A Em G
Love was a word I used to get lucky
D A G
Was a big time spender with that plastic money
A
Back when I knew it all
CHORUS:
D A G
Back when the world was flat and
D A Em G
Mama and Daddy didn't have a clue
D A G A
Back when a pitcher of beer and a couple shots made me bulletproof
G D/F# G D/F#
Back when God was a name I used in vain to get a point across when
G
I got ticked off
G A
Lord I'm learning so much more...than back when I knew it all
D A Em G
D A G
VERSE 2
D A Em G
I found out credit cards don't mean you're rich
D A G
And beer and gasoline don't mix
D A Em G
Yeah step side trucks can't jump a ditch
G A
And those "big house" rooms sure are small
D A Em G
I've learned that love is a woman that will settle you down
D A G
A Sunday sermon can turn life around
D A G
Man I can't believe all the answers I've found
A
Since ....back when I knew it all
D A G
Back when the world was flat and
D A Em G
Mama and Daddy didn't have a clue
D A G A
Back when a pitcher of beer and a couple shots made me bulletproof
G D/F# G D/F#
Back when God was a name I used in vain to get a point across when
G
I got ticked off
G A
Lord I'm learning so much more...than back when I knew it all
BRIDGE:
Em
I've done some growing up
D/F#
And I'm still growing up
G A
So I know i'll never be as smart as I once was
D
That was back.......
D A G
Back when the world was flat and
D A Em G
Mama and Daddy didn't have a clue
D A G A
Back when a pitcher of beer and a couple shots made me bulletproof
G D/F# G D/F#
Back when God was a name I used in vain to get a point across when
