WHEN WE KNEW IT ALL

(Words & Music by Cheley Tackett)

Pebbles and tar clicked through our spokes
As we rode down daylight on that gravel road
And our parents voices fell off in the distance yellin'
"Kids it's time to come home"

But there were adventures to seek, trails to blaze,
And buried treasure left hidden at the end of the day
For young explorers to discover
And still make it home for Disney by eight

We were invincible we were untouchable
The world was at our feet and the mighty would never fall
And in our innocence and inexperience
No one could tell us different when we knew it all

Mud and grass stuck to our heels
As we partied past midnight in that ol' field
Couples stealin' kisses by the bonfire
That first love seemed so real

Racin' the backroads pushin' seventy-five
Tryin' to get everybody home on time
Late for curfew again while our parents waited
To give us a piece of their minds

But we were invincible we were untouchable
The world was at our feet and the mighty would never fall
And in our innocence and inexperience
No one could tell us different when we knew it all

We were kings and queens with endless dreams in those glory days
Now we're nine to five with common lives but we still hold a trace of when

We were invincible, untouchable
The world was at our feet and the mighty would never fall
And in our innocence and inexperience
No one could tell us different
No one could tell us different
No one could tell us different when we knew it all
