Brad Martin - Before I Knew Better lyrics

No one thought that I'd jump off that rocky ledge So I did, and I broke my leg And I let Jim Beam tell me I could take some guy Twice my size, but old Jim lied I can't pretend that I ain't been my life's own wrecking crew And I'm surprised that I've survived all I put myself through [Chorus] Before I knew better Before I woke up I did a whole lot of crazy foolish things I'm not proud of It was just like me to risk it all Even when the pain outweighed the pleasure Before I knew better You were the first to ever make me want to change My reckless ways and I almost did But somehow I lost track and wound up giving in To the late night life and the good time friends You swore to me one day you'd leave and all I had to say Was there's the door what you waiting for And who needs you anyway [Chorus] Girl I pray somehow, someway we can turn this thing around I thought your love was something I could live without Before I knew [Chorus] Before I knew better [Repeat: x3]
