VerseGFC
I rolled my daddy's truck off the Dixonville curve after drinkin' my fifth beer
GFC
And I fed hogs tryin' to pay him off for most of my senior year
GFC
I got my jaw jacked by a big ole boy for messin' 'round with his girlfriend
GFC
But she's tall and tan and she kissed just right, but I'll never do that again
ChorusGFCG
Yeah, I've done some pretty stupid things, but hey
FC
I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter, that's how I got to be this way

And I shook hands on a deal with a man and found out he was lyin'

And I've given my heart to a woman who said she'd stay when I knew she wouldn't
