Their new single "Back When I Knew It All" is currently the duo's fastest rising to date and already a Top 20 hit.

Back When I Knew It All


Lyrics

At the ripe old age of nineteen
I bought a short bed pick up chicks machine
life ran on beer and gasoline
a half a lap ahead of the law
I had a fake id that got me into "tuffies"
love was a word I used to get lucky
was a big time spender with that plastic money
back when I knew it all

Back when the world was flat and
mama and daddy didn't have a clue
that was back
back when a pitcher of beer and a
couple shots made me bulletproof
back when god was a name I used in vain
to get a point across when I got ticked off
Lord I'm learning so much more than
back when I knew it all

I found out credit cards don't mean you're rich
and beer and gasoline don't mix
yeah step side trucks can't jump a ditch
and those "big house" rooms sure are small
I’ve learned that love is a woman that will settle you down
a Sunday sermon can turn life around
man I can't believe all the answers I’ve found
since, back when I knew it all

Back when the world was flat and
mama and daddy didn't have a clue
that was back
back when a pitcher of beer and a
couple shots made me bulletproof
back when god was a name i used in vain
to get a point across when i got ticked off
Lord I'm learning so much more than
back when i knew it all

I've done some growing up
and I'm still growing up
so I know I'll never be
as smart as i once was
that was back

Back when the world was flat and
mama and daddy didn't have a clue
that was back
back when a pitcher of beer and a
couple shots made me bulletproof
back when god was a name I used in vain
to get a point across when I got ticked off
Lord I'm learning so much more than
back when I knew it all
