Intro: COME IN WITH G at end of intro lick D A Em G   D A G G

VERSE 1

D             A      Em   G       
At the ripe old age of nineteen
           D         A      Em   G
I bought a short bed pickup chicks machine
D           A        Em
Life ran on beer and gasoline
G                              
A half a lap ahead of the law
D             A       Em          G
I had a fake ID that got me into Tuffy's
D          A       Em          G
Love was a word I used to get lucky
      D        A             Em        
Was a big time spender with that plastic money
G            A
Back when I knew it all

CHORUS:

D     A        G         A
Back when the world was flat and                                      
D        A      Em      G
Mama and Daddy didn't have a clue
D    A      Em                       G                    A
Back when a pitcher of beer and a couple shots made me bulletproof                      
G          D/F              Em                 D/F                     
Back when God was a name I used in vain to get a point across when 
     G
I got ticked off
G                         A
Lord I'm learning so much more...than back when I knew it all

INTRO LICK




VERSE 2

D           A                  Em            G
I found out credit cards don't mean you're rich
    D        A      Em       G
And beer and gasoline don't mix
D              A        Em          
Yeah step side trucks can't jump a ditch
G                                   DD-AA
And those big house rooms sure are small
                  D         A        Em     G
I've learned that love is a woman that'll settle you down
D        A       Em        G
A Sunday sermon can turn life around
D           A               Em 
Man I can't believe all the answers I've found
 G                         A
Since ....back when I knew it all
