Known Better

Boy you got a lot to learn Back when I was younger that was all that I heard Man you got a ways to go Now I'm getting older and I'm lost as before Every path I open someone closes the door I don't know nothing 'bout no one son But we all got something we wish we'd done I could shout you a song I could write you a letter Maybe I should have known better x2 Boy you got a lot to give Back when I was younger there were treasures I hid Man you gotta try your luck Threw it at the wall to see if anything stuck Emptied out my pockets now there's nothing to chuck I don't know nothing 'bout no one son But we all got something we wish we'd done I could shout you a song I could write you a letter Maybe I should have known better x2 Boy you're gonna be a man Find yourself a woman that you think you can stand Man it's such a lonely trip Everyone is scared but they won't admit it Everyone is tired but too driven to quit I don't know nothing 'bout no one son But we all got something we wish we'd done I could shout you a song I could write you a letter Maybe I should have known better x2 Boy I see you standing there Smiling by the girl with the curls in her hair Man I bet you never guessed She would be the one to drag you out of your mess She would be your failure and your greatest success Boy you got a lot to learn Back when I was younger that was all that I heard Man you got a way to go Now I'm getting older and I'm lost as before Every path I open someone closes the door
