"Back When I Knew It All" by Montgomery Gentry (Gary Hannan/Phil O'Donnell/Trent Willmon)
1st Verse
At the ripe-old age of nineteen
I bought a short-bed pick-up chicks machine
Life ran on beer and gasoline
A half a lap ahead of the law
2nd Verse
I had a fake ID that got me into Tuffy's
Love was a word I used to get lucky
Was a big-time spender with that plastic money
Back when I knew it all
Chorus
Back when the world was flat
And Mom and Daddy didn't have a clue
(That was 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 learnin' so much more than
Back when I knew it all
3rd Verse
I found out credit cards don't mean you're rich
And beer and gasoline don't mix
Yeah, and step-side trucks can't jump a ditch
And those "big house" rooms sure are small
4th Verse
I've learned that love is a woman
That'll settle you down
A Sunday sermon can turn life around
And I can't believe all the answers I found since
Back when I knew it all
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
Well, I've done some growin' up
And I'm still growin' up
Though I know I'll never be as smart
As I once was
Tag Chorus
(That was back)
When the world was flat
And Mom 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 learnin' so much more than
Back when I knew it all
Back when I knew it all
I bought a short-bed pick-up chicks machine
Life ran on beer and gasoline
A half a lap ahead of the law
2nd Verse
I had a fake ID that got me into Tuffy's
Love was a word I used to get lucky
Was a big-time spender with that plastic money
Back when I knew it all
Chorus
Back when the world was flat
And Mom and Daddy didn't have a clue

Back when a pitcher of beer and a couple shots

"Lucky Man" by Montgomery Gentry (David Cory Lee/Dave Turnbull)1st Verse
This little town and the whole world, too
And last Sunday when my Bengals lost
Lordy, put me in a bad mood
2nd Verse
I have moments when I curse the rain
Then complain when the sun's too hot
I look around at what everyone has
And I forget about all I've got
Chorus
But I know I'm a lucky man
God's given me a pretty fair hand
Got a house and a piece of land
A few dollars in a coffee can
My old truck's still runnin' good
My ticker's tickin' like they say it should
I got supper in the oven
A good woman's lovin'
And one more day to be my little kid's Dad
Lord knows I'm a lucky man
3rd Verse
Got some friends who would be here fast
I could call 'em any time of day
Got a brother who's got my back
Got a momma who I swear's a saint
4th Verse
Got a brand new rod and reel
Got a full week off this year
Dad had a close call last spring
It's a miracle he's still here
(Repeat Chorus)
Tag Chorus
Ooh, my old truck's still runnin' good
My ticker's tickin' like they say it should
I got supper in the oven
A good woman's lovin'
And even my bad days ain't that bad
Yeah, I'm a lucky man
I'm a lucky, lucky man
"Some People Change" by Montgomery Gentry (Michael Dulaney/Jason Sellers/Neil Thrasher)1st Verse
His old man was a rebel yeller
Bad boy to the bone
He'd say, 'Can't trust that other feller'
He'd judge 'em by the tone of their skin
2nd Verse
He was raised to think like his Dad
Narrow mind full 'a hate
On the road to nowhere fast
'Til the grace of God got in the way
Pre Chorus
Then he saw the light and hit his knees
And cried and said a prayer
Rose up a brand new man
Left the old one right there
Chorus
(Some people change)
Here's to the strong
Thanks to the brave
Don't give up hope
Some people change
Against all odds
Against the grain
Love finds a way
Some people change (hey)
(Some people change)
3rd Verse
She was born with her mother's habit
You could say it's in her blood
She hates that she's gotta have it
As she fills her glass up
Pre Chorus
She'd love to kill that bottle
But all she can think about
Is a better life, a second chance
And everyone she's letting down
She throws that bottle down
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
Thank God for those who make it
Let them be the light
Let them be the light
(Repeat Chorus)
"She Couldn't Change Me" by Montgomery Gentry (Chris Knight/Gary Nicholson)
1st Verse
Sometimes I think what turned her on
Was my ol' broke down boots
She wanted her a real cowboy
It was a phase she was goin' through
Not one week after she moved in
I caught her paintin' the bedroom blue
Brought home a bottle of pink chablis
Poured out my best homebrew
1st Pre-Chorus
I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls
As she packed her things to leave
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me
1st Chorus
She changed direction, headed out West
Changed her tune to some hip hop mess
Her dark brown hair went to blonde
And her pretty blue eyes went to green
She changed everything when she couldn't change me
2nd Verse
She was sittin' beside the ocean
Lookin' out at the waves
Watchin' how they keep on rollin'
But always seem the same
She called and said she'd been thinkin' about
All those quiet country nights
And whatever she thought was so wrong with me
Suddenly seemed all right
2nd Pre-Chorus
I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls
When her truck pulled into view
She said I changed my mind when I couldn't change you
2nd Chorus
She changed direction, headed back home
She changed her tune, it's all Haggard and Jones
Had her dark brown hair pulled back
And the bluest eyes you ever seen
She changed everything when she couldn't change me
3rd Pre-Chorus
She said I guess when you love someone
You just gotta let it be
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me
3rd Chorus
She changed direction, she's back in my arms
She thought it through, had a change of heart
She said I guess when you love someone
You just gotta let it be
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me, yeah yeah
She changed it all when she couldn't change me
She couldn't change me
She couldn't change me
