KELLY WILLIS
"I Know Better Now"
(Jim Lauderdale)

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

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

But 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
