C majorC    FF         Bb majorBb     FF
Ah, when I was a boy I was wild I was lazy
            C majorC
I was the shame of my dad
     FF               Bb majorBb     FF
Yes, the women and the wine, they were drivin' me crazy
     C majorC     FF
It was so good to be bad

And I got a job runnin' cheap bootleg whiskey
Down on the Arkansas line
From Memphis to Pine Bluff in a hopped up ole Jimmy
I had to be out of my mind

Chorus:
   Bb majorBb             FF
Well, you'll know the crop by the seeds that are sowed
             C majorC
Do all your plantin' with care
Bb majorBb             FF
Water and ground will make anything grow
          C majorC    FF
But a weeds still a weed anywhere

I met a girl in a bar down in Memphis
She was the good lookin' kind
She told me how she was drawn to the misfits
Trouble was all I did find

Verse 1 + Chorus
