When I could really lay it down

Last night he had a few shots,

BRIDGE:
             C               G
I used to be hell on wheels

                  D
Back when I was a younger man

                  E

I still throw a few back, talk a little smack

                D               D7
When I'm feelin' bullet proof

                    G              A
So don't double dog dare me now

                    D             Bm7
Cause I'd have to call your bluff

                     G
