D        G        D
A man with forty acres plowed and planted
A                     D
Can't send no fourteen year-old boy to no school
D        G           D
The one thing I learned in the years I worked on my daddy's farm
A                          D
Was, "Son, you better get them crops in when it gets cool."

D         G        D
In the magazines, I saw the naked women
A                 D
I heard about the drinkin' and the bars
D          G         D
If my daddy could've caught me, he'd a-killed me
     A                     D
He said, "You might run, boy, but you won?t get that far."

G       D            D    A    G
The miles were good but the mileage is turnin' my hair gray
       D      A          G
I've met some people that knew me and call me friend
D         G            D  A G
Ain't no sense in wantin' my life to live o------ver
D             A         G
I'd find different ways to make same mistakes again  (a cappella)

D  G  D
A     D

D         G         D
I hit town or you might say that it hit me
A                     D
Next mornin' there were things I knew more about
D         G           D
Some woman took me in said I, "Seem to be all right."
A               D
I turned her on the same way, she turned me out

D        G              D
The first law I broke, right away Johnny-law caught me
A                     D
I helped them build the country roads for awhile
D          G            D
They fed two times a day and knocked you down about four
A                   D
By the 13 day I... couldn?t even crack a smile


G       D            D    A    G
The miles were good but the mileage is turnin' my hair gray
       D      A          G

D           G         D
I met a nice girl and she said I was her baby
A                   D
She let me go and would never tell me why
D         G           D
I learned what it means to be somebody's baby
A                          D
They let you lie in your bed by yourself so you can cry

D          G           D
So let me say this, I never tried to hurt anybody
A                             D
Though I guess there's a few that I still couldn't look in the eye
D       G       D
Grant me one wish, I hope it rains at my funeral
A                     D
For once, I'd like to be the only one left dry


G       D            D    A    G

I?d probably make um...
G
Same way I made um...  again
D
Make um all again

D  G  D   G   D   G   D   G   D  end on A
