Intro: GFC X4
GD
One day, I'll slow and lay down,
EmC
Spend my weekends in a swing out on the wraparound.
GD
Oh but these days, I'm on a mission
EmC
To get these wild oats out of my system.
CD
Yeah I might stay out all night,
EmD
I've gotta do a little wrong so I know what's right.
GF
I wanna sit out on the porch
CGFC
Telling stories 'bout my glory days when I'm pushing eighty.
GFC
How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise
FCGFCGFC
If I ain't ever young and crazy?
GD
Now I might have to kiss no telling how many lips
EmC
Before I ever really figure out what love is.
GD
Go through some heartbreaks, wake up with headaches,
EmC
Don't learn nothing 'til you make a lot of mistakes.
CD
How will I know where to draw the line
EmD
If I don't cross it a few hundred times?
GF
I wanna sit out on the porch
CGFC
Telling stories 'bout my glory days when I'm pushing eighty.
GFC
How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise

If I ain't ever young and crazy?
CD
Yeah I'm gonna stay out all night,
EmD
I've gotta do a little wrong so I know what's right
GFC
I've gotta live a lot of life if I'm gonna give good advice
GFC
When I'm talking to my grand-babies
GFC
How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise
FCG
If I ain't ever young and crazy?
GF
I wanna sit out on the porch
CGFC
Telling stories 'bout my glory days when I'm pushing eighty.

How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise
