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
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
