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
