Known Better

from Ashland by Mike Stocksdale

lyrics

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
