[Intro]
G G G G G F C G
A G D x2
[Verse]
G F C
I rolled my daddy's truck off the Dixonville curve after drinkin' my fifth beer
G F C
And I fed hogs tryin' to pay him off for most of my senior year
G F C
I got my jaw jacked by a big ole boy for messin' 'round with his girlfriend
G F C
But she's tall and tan and she kissed just right, but I'll never do that again
[Chorus]
G F C G
Yeah, I've done some pretty stupid things, but hey
F C
I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter, that's how I got to be this way
[Instrumental] x4 bars
G
[Verse]
G F C
I've been kicked in the face by horse, 'cause I ran up too fast behind him
G F C
And I shook hands on a deal with a man and found out he was lyin'
G F C
I've broken a couple good girls hearts, 'cause I said I loved 'em knowin' I couldn't
G F C
And I've given my heart to a woman who said she'd stay when I knew she wouldn't
[Chorus]
G F C G
Yeah, I've done some pretty stupid things, but hey
F C G
I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter, that's how I got to be this way
[Bridge]
F C F C G
I've been bit, I've been burned, but I've lived and I've learned from it
G D G D E
F C F C D
I've made some mis- takes, but that's what it takes to make a man out of a kid
[Chorus]
G F C G
Yeah, I've done some pretty stupid things, but hey
F C
I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter, that's how I got to be this way
[Chorus]
G F C G
Yeah, I've done some pretty stupid things, but hey
F C
I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter, that's how I got to be this way
G F
That's how I got to be this, how I got to be this
C G
How I got to this way, hey
