Wish I had a known yaWhen you were a little youngerAround me you might have learneda thing or twoIf I had known you longerYou might be a little StrongerAnd maybe you'd shoot straighterThen you dooooMaybe you'd shoot straighterThen you doAs he walked into the poolroomYou could tell he didn't fitIn his handmade boots, custom suitsand pearl handled shooting stickTonight there'd be a showdownthen everyone would knowWho shoots the meanest game aroundThe Baron or Billy JoeBilly Joe looked EdgyAbout to lose his coolBut the Baron's hands were steadyAs the two began to duelYeah he was like a generalon a battlefield of slateAnd he'd say to Billy Joeeach time he sunk the eightHe'd SayWish I had a known yaWhen you were a little youngerAround me you might have learneda thing or twoIf I had known you longerYou might be a little StrongerAnd maybe you'd shoot straighterThen you dooooMaybe you'd shoot straighterThen you doNow Billy Joe was bustedBut he hadn't felt the stingAnd from the far end of the tableHe threw his mother's wedding ringAnd he said you won my moneyBut it ain't gonna do the trickI'll bet this ring on one more gameagainst your fancy stickThe Baron's eyes got foggyas the ring rolled on the feltAnd he almost doubled overLike he had been hit below the beltTwenty years agoIt was the ring his wife had wornAnd he didn't know before he leftthat a son would soon be bornIt sounded just like thunderwhen the Baron shot the breakBut it grew thickly quietas He lined up the eightThen a warm hand touched his shoulderand it chilled him to the boneWhen he turned and saw the womanWho had loved him for so longThe game was never finishedThe eight ball never fellThe Baron calmly picked it upand put it on the shelfThen he placed the ringIn the hands that held him long agoand he tossed that fancy shooting stickTo his son Billy JoeAnd he saidWish I had a known yaWhen you were a little youngerAround me you might have learneda thing or twoIf I had known you longerYou might be a little StrongerAnd maybe you'd shoot straighterThen you dooooMaybe you'd shoot straighterThen you do
