[Intro]
G G G G C G D C G
[Verse 1]
C G
You want to grow up to paint houses like me,
D C G
with a trailer in my yard till you're 23
C G
And you want to feel old after 42 years,
D C G
keep dropping the hammer and grinding the gears
[Verse 2]
D C G
Well, I used to go out in a Mustang
D C G
a 302 Mach One in green
D C G
Till' Me and your mama made you in the back
D C G
and I sold it to buy her a ring
[Verse 3]
C G
And I learned not to say much of nothing
C G
so I figured you already know
C Em
but in case you don’t or maybe forgot
D C
I’ll lay it out real nice and slow
[Chorus]
C G
Don’t call what your wearing an outfit.
C G
Don’t ever say your car is broke
C Em
And don’t worry about losing your accent
D C
cause a Southern Man tells better jokes
C G
Have fun and stay clear of the needle
C G
Call home on your sister’s birthday
C Em
Don’t tell them you’re bigger than Jesus
Am G Em
don’t give it away
Am G Em
don’t give it away
[Verse 4]
D C G
Five years in a St. Florian foundry,
D C G
they call it Industrial Park.
D C G
I worked hospital maintenance and Tech School
D C G
just to memorize Frigidaire parts.
[Verse 5]
C G
But I got to missing your Mama
C G
and I got to missing you too.
C Em
So I went back to painting for my old man
D C
and I guess that’s what I’ll always do
[Verse 6]
C G
So don’t let'em take who you are boy
C G
and don’t try to be who you ain’t.
C Em
And don’t let me catch you in Kendale
D C
with a bucket of wealthy-man’s paint.
[Chorus]
C G
Don’t call what your wearing an outfit.
C G
Don’t ever say your car is broke.
C Em
Don’t sing with a fake British accent.
D C
Boy and don’t act like your family’s a joke.
C G
Have fun, and stay clear of the needle
C G
call home on your sister’s birthday.
C Em
Don’t tell them you’re bigger than Jesus
Am G Em
Don’t give it away.
Am G Em
Don’t give it away.
