Verse:
          E                A                   E
He handed me the keys and knew I’d take some wrong turns
E                    A                 B
He quit smoking and begged me not to try
         C#m                   B                     A
He’d say get too close to the fire and son, you’ll get burned
              E                 A            E
But I was too young to know my old man was right

Verse:
E                       A                     E
I cranked that car and swore I’d never come back
     E                 A                     B
As I took a drag of a half-smoked Marlboro Light
             C#m                  B                A
Well I could take the heat, so I held on to that lit match
                 E                 A            E
‘Cause I was too young to know my old man was right

Chorus:
        A                                   E         C#m
He said lessons, they ain’t gotta come the hard way
           A                                 C#m B
But you’ll be hellbent to learn ‘em on your own
       A                            C#m
It may take your whole life, but I bet in due time
            B          A            E
Son, you’ll find your old man was right

Verse:
        E                       A                    E
He said stand your ground, but let your heart fall in love
         E               A             B
And that breaking, it’s just part of life
        C#m               B                   A
And the good ones always love you just like Jesus does
              E                 A            E
But I was too young to know my old man was right

Chorus:
        A                                   E         C#m
He said lessons, they ain’t gotta come the hard way
           A                                 C#m B
But you’ll be hellbent to learn ‘em on your own
       A                            C#m
It may take your whole life, but I bet in due time
            B          A            E
Son, you’ll find your old man was right

Outro:
    E                 A                E
Now it’s his turn to watch me be the old man
        E         A            B
With my baby boy lying by my side
          C#m             B                    A
And every lesson that he taught me, I hope I teach him
               E                  A            E
‘Cause I’m old enough to know my old man was right
