I Didn't Know It At The Time

Lyrics

I thought that my first love would be my wife  
But in junior high she moved away from here  
And I thought Johnny would always be my best friend  
I haven't talked to him, in fifteen years  
Back when I had those fights with my old man  
I never thought he'd be, an old man  
  
And I didn't know, all those years ago  
How the years would go flying by  
Thought I knew it all  
But I was wrong  
And I didn't know, I didn't know it at the time  
  
I never thought good jobs were hard to find  
Til I let my pride cost me one  
I never thought my whole life would change  
Til I heard the doctor say, I had a son  
I never really thought that I was lost  
Til I heard my dying mother sing 'Old Rugged Cross'  
  
And I didn't know, all those years ago  
How the years would go flying by  
Thought I knew it all  
But I was wrong  
And I didn't know, I didn't know it at the time  
  
Oh, I thought I knew it all  
Oh, but I was wrong  
And I didn't know, I didn't know it at the time  
  
I didn't know, didn't know, didn't know  
I didn't know  
Oh, I didn't know
