I Wish I’d Known You Better

[Verse 1]
I wish I'd known you better
You were born too soon
I was wearing diapers
When you were on your honeymoon

[Pre-Chorus]
Went off in the Air Force
Came home when you could

[Chorus]
I wish I'd known you better
But what I knew was good

[Verse 2]
You played football with Elvis
Took Susie for your wife
Got stationed in Billings
And led a military life

[Pre-Chorus]
You smoke more Camel cigarettes
Than anybody should

[Chorus]
I wish I'd know you better
But what I knew was good

[Verse 3]
Then there came Juanita
She wasn't good for you
Then you got it right
When you hooked up with me

[Pre-Chorus]
She went six months before ya
We all knew soon you would

[Chorus]
I wish I'd known her better
But what I knew was good

[Verse 4]
There comes a time to say goodbye
And send you on your way
Turn your body into ashes
And get on with our day

[Pre-Chorus]
I have one conversation now
I sorely wish we could

[Chorus]
I wish I'd known you better
But what I knew was good
What I knew was good
