aAs he walked into the pool room,Dyou could tell he didn't fit,CIn his hand made boots, custom suit,Epearl handled shootin' stick.aTonight there'd be a showdown,Dthen everyone would knowCWho shoots the meanest game around,EThe Baron, or Billy Joe.CaBilly Joe was edgy,DAbout to lose his cool,CBut The Baron's hands were steadyEAs the two began to duel.aYeah, he was like a general, Don a battlefield of slate,And
Che would say to Billy Joe, each Etime he sunk the eight:aGHe'd say:CHORUS
CWish I had a known yaaWhen you were a little Cyounger,a'Round me you might have learned a thing or CtwoCIf I had known ya longeraYou might be a little CstrongerMaybe you'd shoot straighter than you do,[

aNow Billy Joe was busted,DBut he hadn't felt the sting,CAnd from the far end of the table,EHe threw his mother's wedding ring.aAnd he said, "you've won my money,DBut it ain't gonna do the trick.CI'll bet this ring on one more gameGagainst your fancy sCtick."aThe Baron's eyes got foggy,Das the ring rolled on the felt,CAnd he almost doubled overElike he was hit below the belt.aTwenty years ago, it was the rDing his wife had worn,CAnd he didn't know before he leftthat a
Gson would soon be Cborn.BIt sounded just like thunderDiswhen The Baron shot the break,CisBut it grew quickly quiet, as he lined up the eight.BThen a warm hand touched his shoulderDisAnd it chilled him to the boneCiswhen he turned and saw the womanwho had
Gisloved him for so Cislong.BThe game was never finished,DisThe eight ball never fell,CisThe Baron calmly picked it up and Fput it on a shelf.BThen he placed the ring in the handsDisthat held him long ago.And he
Cistossed that fancy shootin' stickto his
Fson Billy JoeBGisAnd he said:CHORUS
CisWish I had a known yaBWhen you were a little yCisounger,Cis'Round me you might have learned a thing or twoIf I had known ya longer
BYou might be a little sCistrongerM
