Drive-by Truckers - Outfit chords
Start Jamming...
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
