At the Time

[Verse 1]
I thought my first love would be my wife
But in junior high she moved away from here
I thought John would always be my best friend
I haven't talked to him in fifteen years
Back when I had those fights with my old man
I never thought he'd be an old man

[Chorus]
And I didn't know all those years ago
How the years would go flying by
Thought I knew it all, but I was wrong
And I didn't know, I didn't know it at the time

[Verse 2]
I never thought good jobs were hard to find
Until I let my pride cost me one
I never thought that my whole life could change
Until I heard the doctor say I lost my daughter
I never even knew that I was lost
Until I laid there, heart beating outside my chest and oh

[Chorus]
And I didn't know all those years ago
How the years would go flying by
Thought I knew it all, but I was wrong
And I didn't know, I didn't know it at the time

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And I didn't know all those years ago
How the years would go flying by
Thought I knew it all, but I was wrong
And I didn't know, I didn't know it at the time
I didn't know, I didn't know it at the time, yeah
