Lyrics
[Verse 1]

I thought that my first love would be my wife

But in junior high she moved away from here

I thought Johnny would always be my best friend

I haven't talked to him, in 15 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 it at the time

[Verse 2]

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, 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

Ohhh, I didn't know
