  2. ya know, my daddy had a saying. "if i was as smart as you when i was 18, i'd have been somebody by now."

    i don't think he had in mind quite the same sentiment expressed in this song, but it was quite a few years before i realize it wasn't just crazy old man talk.

    like when i'm at work and i ask the young bucks, "do you know what you're doing?" and they confidently express "of course" or "better than you do old man." but when i ask the old guys, they exclaim "i have no fuck'n idea." which, is of course the correct answer.
