Transposed by: Eddie Garcia ([email protected]) Before I Knew Better No one thought that I?d jump off that rocky ledge So I did and I broke my leg Then I let Jim Beam tell 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?ve 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 wanna change My wreckless ways and I almost did Somehow I lost track and wound up givin? 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 waitin? for And who needs you anyway? (repeat chorus) Girl I pray somehow someway we can turn this thing around I thought your love was something I could live without? (repeat chorus) key change: Before I knew? Before I knew better before I woke up I said 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 Eddie Garcia **Keepin' it Country**
