[Intro] G G G G C G D C G [Verse 1]
 C                            G
You want to grow up to paint houses like me,

       D                       C      G
with a trailer in my yard till you're 23

        C                      G
And you want to feel old after 42 years,

     D                       C            G
keep dropping the hammer and grinding the gears
[Verse 2]
        D                   C       G
Well, I used to go out in a Mustang

  D               C     G
a 302 Mach One in green

      D                     C          G
Till' Me and your mama made you in the back

      D                    C    G
and I sold it to buy her a ring
[Verse 3]
      C                          G
And I learned not to say much of nothing

      C                   G
so I figured you already know

    C                    Em
but in case you don’t or maybe forgot

     D                        C
I’ll lay it out real nice and slow
[Chorus]
      C                         G
Don’t call what your wearing an outfit.

      C                    G
Don’t ever say your car is broke

          C                       Em
And don’t worry about losing your accent

        D                         C
cause a Southern Man tells better jokes

     C                         G
Have fun and stay clear of the needle

     C                         G
Call home on your sister’s birthday

     C                              Em
Don’t tell them you’re bigger than Jesus

               Am  G  Em
don’t give it away

               Am  G  Em
don’t give it away
[Verse 4]
     D                       C      G
Five years in a St. Florian foundry,

     D                   C    G
they call it Industrial Park.

         D                          C        G
I worked hospital maintenance and Tech School

        D                   C       G
just to memorize Frigidaire parts.
[Verse 5]
    C                     G
But I got to missing your Mama

    C                    G
and I got to missing you too.

     C                         Em
So I went back to painting for my old man

      D                             C
and I guess that’s what I’ll always do
[Verse 6]
   C                         G
So don’t let'em take who you are boy

    C                       G
and don’t try to be who you ain’t.

    C                          Em
And don’t let me catch you in Kendale

       D                       C
with a bucket of wealthy-man’s paint.
[Chorus]
      C                         G
Don’t call what your wearing an outfit.

      C                    G
Don’t ever say your car is broke.

      C                        Em
Don’t sing with a fake British accent.

              D                        C
Boy and don’t act like your family’s a joke.

     C                          G
Have fun, and stay clear of the needle

     C                     G
call home on your sister’s birthday.

      C                            Em
Don’t tell them you’re bigger than Jesus

                Am G Em
Don’t give it away.

                Am G Em
Don’t give it away.
