If I Knew Then

The funny-face kid from down the street Always very close at hand He was just a cowboy, I was lady gran But I don't think I would have shot him down If I knew then what I know now High school days and puppy love Learning what it's all about He was kinda akward, I was filling out But I don't think that I would have played around If I knew then what I know now Too many years, too many chairs Too many other things, too many men Time and again I had to test my wings No time for love, strings or wedding rings A pretty young girl from baltimore Got herself a real good man Once he was a cowboy who wanted lady gran And I know that I would have made that now If I knew then what I know now Once he was a cowboy who wanted lady gran And I know that I would have made that vow If I knew then what I know now
