Intro: A#m C# G# D#m x2

Verse:
    A#m         C#               G#          D#m
Simple as my mama said when I was very young
     A#m                 C#              G#              D#m
She told me, "Not to worry, son, one day, youʼll be someone"
     A#m             C#               G#               D#m
But here I Am at twenty one as loaded as a stagecoach shotgun
      A#m            C#                   G# D#m
Iʼm sorry, Mama, please donʼt look at me

         A#m                        C#
When I got to Oklahoma, I was seventeen
          G#                          D#m
My papa taught me how to work, and Lord, he was mean
   A#m                       C#
Workinʼ all day in that August heat
         G#                               D#m
And he taught me how to fish, my uncle taught me how to drink

          A#m                       C#
Well, I went to California and I had me a band
          G#                                 D#m
And we played in all the bars in all the southern lands
     A#m                       C#
We played all night and we drank for free
   G#               D#m
All of my boys and me

Chorus:
 A#m        C#
Now Iʼm twenty three
           G#                      D#m
And thеre ainʼt nobody who can drink like me
  A#m              C#
Soon, Iʼll bе twenty four
           G#                       D#m
And the Lord knows that I canʼt drink no more
 A#m                 C#
I know I shoulda taken it slow
     G#                 D#m        A#m  C#
Itʼs not the way that my life goes
         G#  D#m
Now I know

              A#m         C#         G#
When youʼre passed out on the floor
       D#m                A#m
Youʼre sober by twenty four

A#m C# G# D#m

Verse:
         A#m                          C#
Well, I had a girl who loved me the whole damn time
      G#                        D#m
And Iʼd drink my whiskey and sheʼd drink wine
    A#m                     C#             G# D#m
But soon, my bottle was too much to company

            A#m                          C#
Yeah, weʼd sit on the river and weʼd fish all day
           G#                                  D#m
And weʼd drive across the country, let the radio play
  A#m                   C#                   G# D#m
Seven damn years, I never thought sheʼd leave

Chorus:
 A#m        C#
Now Iʼm twenty three
           G#                      D#m
And thеre ainʼt nobody who can drink like me
  A#m              C#
Soon, Iʼll bе twenty four
           G#                       D#m
And the Lord knows that I canʼt drink no more
 A#m                 C#
I know I shoulda taken it slow
     G#                 D#m        A#m  C#
Itʼs not the way that my life goes
         G#  D#m
Now I know

              A#m         C#         G#
When youʼre passed out on the floor
       D#m                A#m
Youʼre sober by twenty four

Outro:
    A#m         C#               G#          D#m
Simple as my mama said when I was very young
     A#m                 C#              G#              D#m
She told me, "Not to worry, son, one day, youʼll be someone"
     A#m             C#               G#               D#m
But here I Am at twenty one as loaded as a stagecoach shotgun
      A#m            C#                   G# D#m
Iʼm sorry, Mama, please donʼt look at me
