Back when I was growin' up amid the country scenes
Many a farmer's daughter had her eye on me
They chased me on the way to school but I got away somehow
Oh if I could just go back and know what I know now
Now there was Sarah Waggoner as pretty as could be
She cornered me at recess time and told me she loved me
She said would you like to kiss me I said shoot no gal
Oh if I could just go back and know what I know now
[ guitar ]
One day me and Lily Brown were scufflin' at the creek
She said Tom you're mighty strong compared to you I'm weak
I just flexed my muscles I was dumb as our old cow
Oh if I could just go back and know what I know now
I beat up Corky Johnson for teasin' Sally Wall
I was then her hero a standin' mighty tall
She said how can I thank you I said that's okay Sal
Oh if I could just go back and know what I know now
[ dobro ]
Then when I got older I took out Hazel Boone
Once she said let's park awhile beneath that pretty moon
She why don't you kiss me Tom I said I don't know how
Oh if I could just go back and know what I know now
That was many a year ago and those days won't return
I missed a many a kiss from many a girl before I learned
If I had the chance again I make a change and how
Oh if I could just go back and know what I know now
Oh if I could just go back and know what I know now
