I Didn't Know It At The Time

I thought that my first love would be my wife

But in junior high

She moved away from here

And I thought Johnny'd 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 that he'd be an old man

And I didn't know all those years ago

How the years would go

Flyin' 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

'Till I let my pride cost me one

I never thought my whole life would change

'Till I heard the doctor say I had a son

I never really thought that I was lost

Until I heard my dyin' mother

Sing 'Old Rugged Cross'

And I didn't know

All those years ago

How the years would go

Flyin' 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, ohwww
