I Get It Now Lyrics

I was shooting hoops with my boy last night in the driveway

When I caught myself saying what you'd always say

Coaching the team down at the high school gym

And I thought, I sound just like you did

Coach, your lesson was waiting there

Till I could finally hear

I was young, I was dumb, and I knew everything


Though you tried, I had my mistakes to make

Like rain on the windshield those words washed away

If I'd listened then lord knows what heartache I coulda saved

I didn't get it then

Oh but how

I get it now

I had a chip on my shoulder almost all the time

But you saw the good in me no one else could find

You said, if you run with those Johnson boys, there'll be hell to pay

Then we crashed that car and I was lucky to walk away

You were there for me that night

Now I see you changed my life

I was young, I was dumb, and I knew everything


Though you tried, I had my mistakes to make

Like rain on the windshield those words washed away

If I'd listened then lord knows what heartache I coulda saved

I didn't get it then

Oh but how

I get it now

This life is a mystery - we see pieces of the plan

Hope I'll always be learnin' and sayin' when I look back

I didn't get it then

Oh but how

I get it now

Oh I get it now

Yeah I get it now
