I've done some growing up And I'm still growing up So I know I'll never be as smart as I once was That was back When the world was flat And mama and daddy didn't have a clue, way back Back when a pitcher of beer and a couple shots Made me bulletproof Back when God was a name I used in vain To get a point across when I got ticked off Lord I'm learning so much more Than back when I knew it all Back when I knew it all Lyrics taken fromi-knew-it-all-lyrics-montgomery-gentry.htmlhttp://www.metrolyrics.com/back-when- i-knew-it-all-lyrics-montgomery-gentry.html Video made by me Preparedness Organization Responsibility Training Four Other Learning I O The I stands for: Inclusive: By doing community service, we are including ourselves into the community.
