"WHAT I KNOW NOW" lyrics
Seventeen, out raising hell
One too many with the pedal down
Doing eighty five on a gravel road
Couple wild boys trying to get home
Man, I wish I'd told my friend to slow it down
If I knew then what I know now
At twenty-two, thought I met the girl
Dropped everything just to be with her
Was gonna build a life, and make a home
That phone call, I wasn't ready for
That night I thought my heart would never mend
If I knew then
What I know now
Life ain't easy, that world keeps spinning 'round
Yeah, some days you'll be winning, some days you'll get knocked down
Oh, but all that I can tell you, is good friends will get you through
With a little faith, when tomorrow breaks
You'll see a different shade of blue
Yeah, but sometimes I wonder how it'd all play out
If I knew then what I know now
Twenty-nine, it hit me hard
Those two pink lines weren't on the cards
I was scared to death, I was gonna be a dad
And I sure wasn't ready for all of that
Man, I thought I knew what love was all about
If I knew then
What I know now
Life ain't easy, that world keeps spinning 'round
Yeah, some days you'll be winning, some days you'll get knocked down
Oh, but all that I can tell you, is that love will get you through
With a little faith, when tomorrow breaks
You'll see a different shade of blue
Yeah, but sometimes I wonder how it'd all play out
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
I'd still make the same mistakes
'Cause that broken road led me here today
Hell, it took me some time, but now I see
Life ain't always easy, that world keeps spinning 'round
Yeah, some days you'll be winning
Some days you'll get knocked down
But all that I can tell you, is you're gonna make it through
With a little faith, when tomorrow breaks
You'll see a different shade of blue
Yeah, but sometimes I wonder how it'd all play out
Hell, I can tell you, man
I still wouldn't have it figured out
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
One too many with the pedal down
Doing eighty five on a gravel road
Couple wild boys trying to get home
Man, I wish I'd told my friend to slow it down
If I knew then what I know now
At twenty-two, thought I met the girl
Dropped everything just to be with her
Was gonna build a life, and make a home
That phone call, I wasn't ready for
That night I thought my heart would never mend
If I knew then
What I know now
Life ain't easy, that world keeps spinning 'round
Yeah, some days you'll be winning, some days you'll get knocked down
Oh, but all that I can tell you, is good friends will get you through
With a little faith, when tomorrow breaks
You'll see a different shade of blue
Yeah, but sometimes I wonder how it'd all play out
If I knew then what I know now
Twenty-nine, it hit me hard
Those two pink lines weren't on the cards
I was scared to death, I was gonna be a dad
And I sure wasn't ready for all of that
Man, I thought I knew what love was all about
If I knew then
What I know now
Life ain't easy, that world keeps spinning 'round
Yeah, some days you'll be winning, some days you'll get knocked down
Oh, but all that I can tell you, is that love will get you through
With a little faith, when tomorrow breaks
You'll see a different shade of blue
Yeah, but sometimes I wonder how it'd all play out
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now

If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
