Lyrics

I smoked my first cicarette
At the ripe old age of ten
Daddy caught me with it
And made me smoke a few with him
And even after all these years,
what happened next is still so clear to me
Daddy told me boy youre lookin
Kinda green

Chorus
No I won't forget the lesson I learned that day.
Heaven help me If I ever do
no I won't forget the lesson I learned that day
from that day on my smoking days were through

V2
I took a swing at daddy when I was 17. Don't remember why I did it
Just young and dumb and mean
But even after all these years, what happened next is still clear to this day
Daddy helped me up with tears
rolling down his face

Chorus
No I wont forget the lesson I learned that day
Heaven knows I couldnt if I tried
No I wont forget the lesson I learned that day
The only time I ever saw my daddy cry


Music modulates

V3
Well I got home at 3 AM
From somewhere that I never should have been
AndI guess Ill never understand
How you knew the truth as soon as I walked in
But even after all these years
What happened next is still so clear to me
How you cried
As you packed your bags to leave

Chorus
And I wont forget the lesson I learned that day
Heaven help me if I ever do
No I wont forget the lesson I learned thay day
Cause that was the day that I lost you
