Song Of The Week

I've decided to start a habit of posting the lyrics of a song I like every Monday of every week.

This week song is "Before I Knew Better" for Brad Martin. It is a lovely country song and it speaks about itself.

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 aint been my life's own wrecking crew
And I'm surprised that I've survived all I put myself through

Before I knew better
Before I woke up
I did a whole lotta 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 wanna 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

Before I knew better
Before I woke up
I said a whole lotta 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

Girl I pray somehow, someway we can turn this thing around
I thought your love was something I could live without
Before I knew

Before I knew better
Before I woke up
I said a whole lotta 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
Before I knew better
Before I knew better
Before I knew better

i don't think she is poor. i think she is lucky cos she is better of without someone like that. she is probably now with a person who appreciates her more than his own pleasures.

i think the guy is the poor one cos he thought that he can fool around and have fun and he forgot that there are more important things in life than just partying all the time and hanging out with the bad gang. he thought everything will be ok at the end. but as usual we only realize that after it's too late. yet we still fool ourselves and say it is experience and it made us better people.
