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
