[00:00:00] Wish I had a known ya

[00:00:03] When you were a little younger

[00:00:05] Around me you might have learned a thing or two

[00:00:10] If I had known you longer

[00:00:13] You might be a little stronger

[00:00:16] Maybe you'd shoot straighter than you do

[00:00:21] Maybe you'd shoot straighter than you do

[00:00:26] As he walked into the poolroom

[00:00:28] You could tell he didn't fit

[00:00:31] In his handmade boots custom suits

[00:00:34] And pearl handled shooting stick

[00:00:36] Tonight there'd be a showdown then everyone would know

[00:00:41] Who shoots the meanest game around

[00:00:44] The baron or Billy Joe

[00:00:48] Billy Joe looked edgy about to lose his cool

[00:00:52] But the baron's hands were steady as the two began to duel

[00:00:58] Yeah he was like a general on a battlefield of slate

[00:01:02] And he'd say to Billy Joe each time he sunk the eight

[00:01:07] He'd say

[00:01:09] Wish I had a known ya

[00:01:11] When you were a little younger

[00:01:14] Around me you might have learned a thing or two

[00:01:18] If I had known you longer

[00:01:21] You might be a little stronger

[00:01:24] Maybe you'd shoot straighter than you do

[00:01:29] Maybe you'd shoot straighter than you do

[00:01:34] Now Billy Joe was busted but he hadn't felt the sting

[00:01:39] And from the far end of the table

[00:01:41] He threw his mother's wedding ring

[00:01:44] And he said you won my money but it ain't gonna do the trick

[00:01:49] I'll bet this ring on one more game against your fancy stick

[00:01:55] The baron's eyes got foggy as the ring rolled on the felt

[00:02:00] And he almost doubled over like he had been hit below the belt

[00:02:06] Twenty years ago it was the ring his wife had worn

[00:02:11] And he didn't know before he left that a son would soon be born

[00:02:17] It sounded just like thunder when the baron shot the break

[00:02:21] But it grew thickly quiet as he lined up the eight

[00:02:26] Then a warm hand touched his shoulder and it chilled him to the bone

[00:02:31] When he turned and saw the woman who had loved him for so long

[00:02:38] The game was never finished the eight ball never fell

[00:02:43] The baron calmly picked it up and put it on the shelf

[00:02:47] Then he placed the ring in the hands that held him long ago

[00:02:52] And he tossed that fancy shooting stick to his son Billy Joe

[00:02:57] And he said

[00:02:59] Wish I had a known ya

[00:03:01] When you were a little younger

[00:03:03] Around me you might have learned a thing or two

[00:03:08] If I had known you longer

[00:03:11] You might be a little stronger

[00:03:13] Maybe you'd shoot straighter than you do

[00:03:20] Maybe you'd shoot straighter than you do
