Mary Alice Vanderwaters songs
I dedicate this song to the Lucy who "Thought She Knew It All"
Back When I Knew It All
Verse
I remember one time I took my momma?s car
Down to the store it wasn?t very far
Before I got back I had myself a little accident.
Well, I thought real fast and said I?m pretty stout
I?ll just lay in the trunk and try to kick it out
I didn?t know my own strength back when I knew it all
Chorus
Back when I knew it all I was invincible
Every lie I told was convincible
I had it all figured out back when I knew it all
I tried to concentrate on what to do
But for once in my life I didn?t have a clue
I was in big trouble, back when I knew it all
Verse
Momma worked at the church nearly all day long
The preacher and his wife finally brought her home
She took one look and said ?Who the hell wrecked my car?
Well even the Lord would have had to laugh
At Brother Jimmy?s face during momma?s wrath
He hadn?t heard words like that since he knew it all
Repeat Chorus
Verse
I jumped in bed and waited for the worse
What I planned to say was so well rehearsed
I heard big brother holler ?Momma it wasn?t me?
When she hit the door I really tried to lie,
But all I got out was a mournful cry
There was no mercy back when I knew it all
Repeat Chorus
