I Get It Now

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
