Verse:
DG
I was a walkin talkin somethin to prove didn't care about nothin at all,
DD/C#D/BD/AGAD
Reelin in the streets throwin bottles at the wall,
DG
We played rockabilly music til all hours of the night,
DD/C#D/BD/AGAD
We'd wind up in the parkin lot in some great big fight,
GDGD
When there weren't no money in it and everything was new,
GDA
We'd drive across the country lookin for somethin to do,
DG
And you couldn't tell us nothin. We had it all figured out for sure,
DD/C#D/BD/AGAD
And the older cats would shake their heads. They'd seen our kind before,
DGD
But it was good times hard livin back then,
DA
I wonder could I do those things again,
DGDG
And never give a second thought to if it was a sin,
DAD
Good times hard livin back then,
Verse:
DG
I was a walkin talkin somethin to prove just playin rock and roll,
DD/C#D/BD/AGAD
Lovin every minute spinnin out of control,
DG
Ridin on that midnight rail tryin to have too much fun,
DD/C#D/BD/AGAD
Probably should've gone to jail for some of the things we done,
GDGD
We'd turn on ZZ Top and roll on to another town,
GDA
We wore that sucker out til the whole thing come unwound,
DG
And you couldn't tell us nothin we had it all figured out for sure,
DD/C#D/BD/AGAD
But some people that I knew back then won't talk to me no more,
Repeat Chorus:
Verse:
DG
I'm a walkin talkin somethin to prove but I'm tryin not to fall,
DD/C#D/BD/AGAD
Cause some funerals I've been to played like writing on the wall,
DG
And now it seems I've come full circle still tryin to make a stand,
DD/C#D/BD/AGAD
Ridin five up in a pick up truck playin in a honkytonk band,
GDGD
And though the words may be different it's still the same old song,
GDA
Figure out where you wanna be and make it up as you go along,
DG
And you still can't tell us nothin we've got it all figured out fo sure.
DD/C#D/BD/AGAD
Shakin our heads at each other we've been down this road before,
Repeat Chorus:
Refrain:
DG
I'm a walkin talkin somethin to prove but I'm tryin not to fall,
DD/C#D/BD/AGAD
And if I think about it now and then ain't too much changed at all
