How I could clearly see
With picture perfect vision
She was the only one for me

My perception of a heavenly love
Was right there in my sight
I never saw the true writin' on the wall
'Cause she was standin' in my light

Bought her a diamond ring, nearly everything
This workin' man could not afford
A Chevy, a house and the credit cards
To her favorite department stores

Loved her all I could, I can't believe she would
Run off with some ol' used to be
Guess ya never know what the future holds
'Cause for her it wasn't me

And they say lookin' back is a lesson learned
And that's why I won't forget her
Through the smoke and haze of bein' burned
I can see things a whole lot better

Lord, I was blind but now I find
Since she did me down and dirty
Hindsight's not 20-20
It's more like a 30-30

Now I'm pickin' up the pieces of
This shattered, broken heart of mine
Been searchin' for the lovin' parts
But the hurtin' ones are all I find

When she took her aim she wasn't playin' no games
Lord, she dropped me right to my knees
She untied our knot with a perfect shot
And put me into my misery

And they say lookin' back is a lesson learned
And that's why I won't forget her
Through the smoke and haze of bein' burned
I can see things a whole lot better

Lord, I was blind but now I find
Since she did me low down and dirty
Hindsight's not 20-20
It's more like a 30-30

Lord, hindsight's not 20-20
It's more like a 30-30
Yes, it is
