This is a great song by my favorite artist. I've listened to it a dozen times or more and im pretty sure the key Brantley plays it in is A# but I have it in A so just put the capo on fret 1.
Intro: | G  A |  Bm     | x2
Verse: 1

G                A             Bm
Growing up I was always mama's angel

G             A              Bm
Never new I'd ever fall from grace

        G                 A                 Bm
I was taught to walk With God and run from trouble

         G                                         A
But I ran with a crowd that was bound to change my ways
Chorus:
         D
I was proud to be in the bad news crowd

       A
The one my mama warned me about

       Bm            A                G
The closest thing to hell she'd ever raised

            D                                 A
But when I look back on those days I knew I'd never change a thing

   Bm                A                    G
I made mistakes that paved the way to the man I am today

                 Dsus2           A  (let A ring)
I’m proud of em all, and I had a ball
bending the rules and breaking the law
Intro:   G  A  Bm  x2
Verse: 2

       G                  A                 Bm
We were bad about sneakin out and shootin  road signs

G                 A                     Bm
Throwing eggs and rollin every yard in town

        G                   A                    Bm
Yeah my claim to fame was a babe Ruth swing on a mailbox

         G                           A
Yeah the police just love driving me around
Chorus: Bridge:
Dsus2             A
Yeah you learn to walk the way you talk

     G
The DUI means SOL

A
Respect was earned

                      Bm    A    G
You live and learn to pray

             A
You learn to pray

         D
We were proud to be in the bad news crowd

    A
The one our mamas warned us about

       Bm            A                  G
The closest thing to hell they’ve ever raised

           D                                    A
But when I look back on those days I know we'd never change a thing

Bm                 A                      G
Made mistakes that paved the way for the men we are today

                Dsus2                      A  (let  A  ring)
We’re proud of em all, yall. And we had a ball
