VERSE:
 Bm           D             A           Em
Simple as my mama said when I was very young
     Bm             D
She told me not to worry, son
     A                Em
One day you`ll be someone

     Bm           D
But here I am at twenty one
    A                Em
As loaded as a stagecoach shotgun
     Bm
I`m sorry mamma
 D                   A  Em Em Em Em
Please don`t look at me


VERSE:
             Bm                      D
Yeah, when I got to Oklahoma, I was seventeen
         A                               Em
My papa taught me how to work, and Lord, he was mean
 Bm                      D
Workin` all day in that August heat
        A
And he taught me how to fish
          Em                   Em Em Em
My uncle taught me how to drink


VERSE:
         Bm                    D
Well, I went California and I had me a band
        A                                 Em
And we played in all the bars in all the Southern lands
    Bm                      D
We played all night and we drank for free
 A                 Em Em Em Em
All of my boys and me


CHORUS:
Bm      D             A                    Em
Now I`m 23 and therе ain`t nobody who can drink like me
 Bm          D            A                       E
Soon I`ll be 24, and thе Lord knows that I can`t drink no more

Bm                D
I know I shoulda taken it slow
      A               E           Bm D
It`s not the way that my life goes

       A   Em Em Em Em
Now I know

             Bm        D       A
When you`re passed out on the floor
        Em       Bm D A Em Em Em Em
You’re sober by 24


VERSE:
        Bm                           D
Well, I had a girl who loved me the whole damn time
     A                        E
And I`d drink my whiskey and she`d drink wine
     Bm                  D               A  Em Em Em Em
But soon, my bottle was too much to company

           Bm                         D
Yeah, we’d sit on the river and we’d fish all day
          A                                 Em
And we`d drive across the country, let the radio play
 Bm                  D                   A   Em  G
Seven damn years, I never thought she`d leave
