F# C# F#
[Verse]
F# B F#
A different time, in a faraway place
F# B F#
Born in the bad news, a smile on my face
F# B F#
Was wild and crazy like a caged dog freed
F# C# F#
ain’t nothing like being young broke and naive
F# B F#
I was drivin’ my chevy steady my foot feelin heavy
F# B F#
ready for whatever life goes and throws my way
F# B F#
In motels I was sleepin’ eatin’ in diners and leavin’
F# C# F#
little ladies with broken hearts all down the highway
[Pre-Chorus]
F# B F# B F#
And it’s hazy baby cuz I cant remember the names
F# B F# B C#
Aw man it’s crazy baby, when you think about the good ol’ days
[Chorus]
F# B F#
I was free and I was young
F# B F#
But it’s been a long road from 21
F# B F#
Tryna survive in the USA
F# C# F#
Till them good ol’ boys come and take me away
F# B F#
I said No, I wont
F# C# F#
Go, and settle down
F# B F#
No, I wont
F# C# F#
I don’t think that I could settle down
[Verse]
F# B F#
In a charleston bar I met an angry old man
F# B F#
he sang the blues and told me all about Vietnam
F# B F#
Said hey son you’re lucky just to be alive
F# C# F#
Cuz these days there really aint no place to hide
F# B F#
So i’m runnin’ i’m riding I’m rockin rollin I’m flying
F# B F#
I’m making up for lost time and I’m just findin’ myself
F# B F#
I was young and in love and didn’t know who to trust
F# C# F#
Hopped on that greyhound bus man it was hotter than hell
[Pre-Chorus]
F# B F# B F#
And it’s crazy baby to think about the things we can’t change
F# B F# B C#
Aw man it’s hazy baby, when you think about the good ol’ days
[Chorus]
F# B F#
I was free and I was young
F# C# F#
But it’s been a long road from 21
F# B F#
Tryna survive here in the USA
F# C# F#
Till them good ol’ boys come and take me away
F# B F#
I said No, I wont
F# C# F#
Go, and settle down
F# B F#
No, I wont
F# C# F#
I don’t think that I could settle down
[Solo]
F# B F#
F# C# F#
[Outro]
F# B F#
I was free and I was young
F# C# F#
But it’s been a long road from 21
F# B F#
Tryna survive here in the USA
F# C# F#
Till them good ol’ boys come and take me away
F# B F#
I said No, I wont
F# C# F#
Go, and settle down
F# B F#
No, I wont
F# C# F#
I don’t think that I could settle down
