G D A G (x2)
[Verse 1]
N.C.
Dropped acid, Blue Oyster Cult concert, fourteen years old
N.C.
And I thought them lasers were a spider chasing me
N.C.
On my way home, got pulled over in Rogersville Alabama
N.C.
With a half-ounce of weed and a case of Sterling Big Mouth
G D My buddy Gene was driving A G D A G he just barely turned sixteen G D And I'd like to say, "I'm sorry" A G but we lived to tell about it G D A G And we lived to do a whole bunch more crazy, stupid shit
[Chorus]
G D And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd A G but I sure saw Molly Hatchet G D A G With .38 Special and the Johnny Van Zant Band
[Interlude]
G D A G (x2)
[Verse 2]
G D A G When I was seventeen, I drank a fifth of vodka G D A G On an empty stomach, then drove over to a friend's house G D And I backed my car between A G his parents' Cadillacs without a scratch G D A G Then crawled to the backdoor and slithered through the mail hole G D And I sneaked up them stairs A G and puked in the toilet G D And I passed out and nearly drowned A G but his sister, Deedee, pulled me out
[Chorus]
G D And I never saw Lynyrd Skynyrd A G but I sure saw Molly Hatchet G D And the band that I was in A G played "The Boys are Back in Town"
