Oh I must have left some stones unturned or could be quite a few
There's a lot I've overlooked and never knew
There's some things you learn while getting burned
Don't feel good at the time
Playing by your set of rules pretending that you'll never lose
But I know better now yeah I know better now
It just took a while to figure it out

There's so much to take for granted when life is going well
When the tides will turn no one can tell
Some wise men knew that played the blues
That no one has hardly heard
The high cost of fooling yourself not mentioning everyone else
But I know better now yeah I know better now
It just took a while to figure it out
Some mysteries hang on the breeze
[ fiddle ]
And we'll all go to some big hotel where weary hearts can rest
Getting and giving more of the faith and the hope and the love
I know better now yeah I know better now
It just took a while to figure it out
It just took me a while to figure it out
