Before I Knew Better Lyrics by Bobby Wills

In Comes the Night

0

[Verse 1]
Just an average country kid
Did the things my daddy did
[Yes I did]
Couldn't stay between the lines
Broke lots of hearts lots of times
Swore that I was gonna live forever
Before I knew better
[Verse 2]
Bought lots of things I couldn't afford
Drink every drop that I was poor
[Think I was bored]
Lit some fires watched them burn
Quick to run slow to learn
Stand alone in any kind of weather
Before I knew better
[Chorus]
A little time went by and I kept changing
A little trial and fire came my way
Thought I was just gonna get what I deserved
And that miracles don't happen much these days
Before I knew better
[Verse 3]
Every night my momma prayed
That I would find the one someday
[Yes she prayed]
There you were out of the blue
I was too scared to talk to you
Never a chance that we'd end up together
[Chorus]
A little time went by and I kept changing
A little trial and fire came my way
Thought I was just gonna get what I deserved
And that miracles don't happen much these days
Before I knew better
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
A little time went by and I kept changing
A little trial and fire came my way
Thought I was just gonna get what I deserved
And that miracles don't happen much these days
Before I knew better
Before I knew better
Lit some fires, watched them burn
[Before I knew better]
Quick to run, slow to learn
[Before I knew better]
