D
They said I can lose a little lip
Bm
And lose count a hundred dollar bills
GA
Be that small town boy that finally made it out
D
I think that's where they had me wrong
Bm
I want to write my own damn songs
GDA
And I don't want to move to Nashville, man, I've got home
BmBm/AG
Yeah, what you see is what you get
Bm
And when you look at me, man
Bm/A
I hope when you look at me you see
GA
As real as it gets
Chorus:
D
Cause I'm a grown ass man
Bm
You ain't gonna change my ways
G
Hell I ain't set in stone
A
I'm set in that red Georgia clay
D
Man, I was brought up on that book
Bm
And my grand-daddy's knee
GA
You can bet your ass that I know who I am
DGA
I'm a grown ass man
D
Well hell I ain't no politician
Bm
And kissing ass just ain't my style
G
So if you ask me the wrong questions
GA
I'll give you more than just my dime
BmAG
All you really need to know about where I stand
BmAGA
Somewhere between Amazing Grace, Back In Black, and Simple Man
Chorus:
D
Cause I'm a grown ass man
Bm
You ain't gonna change my ways

Hell I ain't set in stone
A
I'm set in that red Georgia clay

And my grand-daddy's knee

You can bet your ass that I know who I am

I'm a grown ass man
Solo
Bridge:
Bm
Some folks say that I'm an outlaw
G
Oh, but I ain't earned that yet
D
I'll be the first to say I still got dues to pay
A
I hope I go out like that
Bm
And I know this world is changing
G
But I know the King James ain't
D
It ain't no secret I'm a sinner
A
I never claimed to be no saint
Chorus:
D
Cause I'm a grown ass man
Bm
You ain't gonna change my ways
G
Hell I ain't set in stone
A
I'm set in that red Georgia clay
D
Man, I was brought up on that book
Bm
And my grand-daddy's knee
GA
You can bet your ass that I know who I am
Bm
I'm a grown ass man
