(I Should've Known) The Snow Wasn't Over

Spice Rack Collective

On an odd winter day when North Alabama got a quick layer of snow that was gone by the evening, Robbie wrote and recorded this musing on opportunity costs and the “what if” questions implicit when we act on the incomplete information we have at any given time.

(I Should’ve Known) The Snow Wasn’t Over

[Verse]
If I had known about the price of gold
I would have known when to have bought and sold
Some things you keep until you’re old
I can’t keep waiting on a chance worth taking

[Chorus]
I should have known that the snow wasn’t over
It was warm but it could not last
It was a show, I have to admit it
Now it’s gone, time to move on past

[Verse]
If I had known the future price of rent
A gallon of gas, the price of money lent
If we could understand what all the tax laws meant
What would we have done with all the money we spent?

[Chorus]

[Verse]
If I had sold those collectible items
If I’d not bought that cool “Swasticar”
If we knew the true value of those diamonds
There’s always just going to be something else there

[Chorus]
