[D] [C] [G]
[D] [G] I [D] was twelve years old with some bolts and a wrench, [G] a piece of plywood that was three-quarter inch,
[A] and daddy said, son, when your chores are done, I'll give you one [G] of them [D] creosote barn poles.
I went out in the pasture with an old cow, Patty's [G] got some post hole diggers,
and I got after it, [A] had some sun on my back, and a blister on my hand, but man, I had [D] myself a gun.
[F#m] [Bm] I dribbled [A] that ball [G] till the grass [D] was gone, the [Em] bumpy ground was brown [A] and flat,
and [Em] me and daddy [F#m] played horse [A] and the cows [Bm] on the road, and we [D] laughed.
[G] I was lucky, and I didn't [A] even know we were growing up to [D] laugh yet.
I [G] learned the birds and the bees [D] from the cats and the dogs, [G] that a frog starts out [D] as a polywall,
[G] and a blackberry [D] cobbler is made [A] from scratch, and [Bm] worth every [A] one you get [G] from the briner [A] patch.
[G] I found out fire [D] would warm you twice, [G] once when you cut it [D] and once when you light [G] it,
and I can't help [D] but smile [F#m] when I [Bm] look back, cause [G] I was lucky, and I didn't [A] even know we were growing up [D] like cats.
[G]
[D] There was an old wooden barrel behind my grandpa's house, [G] where we'd do adder tater pills and coffee grounds,
and [A] say you wanna catch catfish as long as your arm's sun, you gotta [D] have a nightcrawler farm.
And [B] we'd sit [A] on the dock and [G] share a bottle [D] of pop, and [Em] catch a few, and then head [A] on back.
[E] Me and daddy [D] cleaned fish [A] while the cats [Bm] meowed, and we [D] laughed.
[G] I was lucky, and I didn't [A] even know we were growing up [D] like cats.
I [G] learned the birds and the bees [D] from the cats and the dogs, [G] that a frog starts out [D] as a polywall,
and [G] this blackberry [D] cobbler is made [A] from scratch, and [Bm] worth every [A] one you get [G] from the briner [A] patch.
[Gm] If you ever got sugar [D] in a hot hayloft, [G] and you still can't believe [D] you all didn't get caught,
[G] you close your eyes [D] and smile [C#] when you [Bm] look back,
[A] and [G] you were lucky, and you didn't [A] even know we were growing up [G] like cats.
[D] [G] [D]
[G] [D] [A] [Bm] [D] You [G] learned the birds and the bees [D] from the cats and the dogs,
[G] and a skinny dipping beats [D] anything you ever thought of,
[Gm] this blackberry [D] cobbler is made from scratch, and [Bm] worth every [A] one you get [G] from the briner patch.
[A] [G] Sometimes me and [D] her still slip off to [G] that cozy little corner [D] in an old hayloft,
[G] taste the honey suck on [D] her lips [F#m] off the beatin' [Bm] pad.
[Dm] Cause [G] I'm lucky, and baby [A] I know it, [Bm] I'm doing my best there to show [A] it,
[G] all you never really do [B] outgrow, [D] growing up like cats.
[G] [D] You [G] [D] like good cooping, picking guitar, [G] and you really don't care about being a star,
you [D] just do it cause you love it, and you love it cause you do it.
Shove cobs on a porch, [G] tell somebody show up with some going home [D] boards, yeah,
can I get an admin growing up [G] like a [Dm] cat.
[G] [D] [G] [D]
