You [C] wanna grow up to [G] paint houses like me?
[D] A trailer in my yard [C] till you're [G] 23
[C] You wanna feel old [G] after 42 years?
Keep [D] dropping the hammer [C] and grinding [G] the gear _ _ _ _ _
Well, I [D] used to go out [C] in a [G] Mustang _
_ [D] 302 Mach [C] 1 in green
[G] _ _
[D] Me and your [G] mama [C] made you [G] in the back
And I sold it to [D] buy [C] her a ring
[G] _
[C] And I learned not to say [G] much, nothing _
[C] So I figure you [G] already know _
But [C] in case you [G] don't or maybe forgot
[D] I'll let out real [C] nice and slow _
_ _ _ Don't call us true when [G] we're in an outfit
_ _ [C] Don't ever say your [G] car is broke
[C] Don't worry about losing [Em] your accent
_ [D] Southern man tells [C] better jokes
_ Have fun, stay clear [G] of the needle
[C] Call home on your [G] sister's birthday
_ _ [C] Don't tell them you're bigger [Em] than Jesus
Don't give it [Am] away
_ [G] _
_ [Em] _ Don't give [Am] it away
[G] Four, _ [Em] _ _ five [D] years in a Saint [G]-Florian foundry
They [D] call it [C] industrial [G] park
_ [D] Then hospital [G] maintenance and tech school
Just [D] to memorize [C] frigid air [G] parts
But [C] I got to missing [G] your mama
_ And I got to missing you too
And I [C] went back to [G] painting for my old man
[D] And I guess that's what I [C] always do
[G] So don't let them take who you are, boy
[C] And don't try to be [G] who you _ [C] ain't
And don't let me catch [G] you in Kyndall
[D] With a bucket of wealthy [C] [G] man's paint _ _ _ _
[C] Don't call us true [G] when we're in an outfit
[C] Don't ever say your [G] car is broke
[C] Don't sing with a fake [Em] British accent
[D] Don't act like your [C] family's a joke
Have fun, stay clear [G] of the needle _
[C] Call home on your [G] sister's birthday
[C] Don't tell them you're bigger [Em] than Jesus
Don't give it [Am] away
_ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _ Don't give it [Am] away
