David Allan Coe - '59 Cadillac '57 Chevy
Capo 2

[Verse]
G
Standin’ on the corner watchin’ all the girls go by
C G
Drinkin’ wine and whiskey, smokin’ joints and stayin’ high
D C G
When I was young and crazy never thought that I could die.

[Chorus]
G G

C G
Goin’ to the gravel pit racin’ till the break of day
D C G
Smokin’ in the boy’s room, lookin’ for some chick to lay
C G
I was young and crazy then life was full of girls and beer
D C
But now I’m getting’ older but I’m still crazy after
G
All these years, all these years.

[Verse]
G G G
Lookin’ at the strippers hangin’ out in titty bars
C C G
Live was Jim Beam whiskey, naked chicks, and fancy cars
D D G
I thought I was bulletproof, I was reachin’ for the stars.

[Chorus]
G G

Smokin’ in the boy’s room, lookin’ for some chick to lay

But now I’m getting’ older but I’m still crazy after

All these years, all these years.
