Song: Before I Knew Better
Artist: Brad Martin
Transposed by: Eddie Garcia (string50@hotmail.com)Before I Knew Better
No one thought that Id 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 cant pretend that I aint been my lifes own wrecking crew
And Im surprised that Ive survived
All Ive put myself through
(chorus)
Before I knew better before I woke up
I did a whole lot of crazy, foolish things Im 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 youd leave and all I had to say
Was theres 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 Im 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
