Intro: G////C////G////C////
          G        
Well its been a while, 
                                C
since i did somethin I could be arrested  

for. 
          D                  
All the girls I ran around with, 
            G    
don't run around no more.

Verse 2:

The days of racing cars and closing down
 
bars,
      C 
are winding down.
        D              C 
I feel like the only Cowboy 
           D
left here in this town. 

Chorus: 
              G            C
'Cause I've raised enough hell
        D           G  
for my next fifty years.
               C  
Dodgin work, chasin' skirts,
D                 G 
and shotgunning beers. 
Em                D
I need to act my age, 
              C
so I've been told. 
                      D             G    C
But man this growing up is getting old. 

Verse 3:
    G   
My buddy and I used to raise 'em high,
          C 
and stay out till four. 
 D  
But his new wife
                           G
won't let me crash on the couch no more. 

Verse 4: 

Even he said:
                       C
"man ain't it time to tone it down?"
            D                        C       
That's the last thing I thought I'd ever hear
      D       
come from his mouth.

Chorus (with slight change):

          G             C
Cause we raised enough hell
         D          G
for our next fifty years.
              C  
dodgin work, chasin' skirts,
 D               G 
and shotgunning beers. 
Em                D
I need to act my age,
              C 
so I've been told. 
                     D              G
But man this growing up is getting old.

Bridge
 G    F      C                 G
Like a wild horse with such a tame
       F       C                     D 
I got a wild streak that's hard to break 

Chorus: 
          G            C 
cause I raised enough hell
        D           G
for my next fifty years.
               C 
dodgin work, chasin' skirts,
 D               G 
and shotgunning beers.
                  D
I need to act my age 
              C
so I've been told. 
                     D              G
But man this growing up is getting old.
