I spent a summer down south, 
                            B
working for the county, trying to 
save for school
                     C#          
I blew it all like a damn fool on 
           F#
women and beer
F#                                
I didn't have the grades but I had
                       B
 myself a major league fastball
Got a call from the minor leagues in
 C#                                
 Wichita and blew out my arm in the
 F#
 first year,
ha-ha, yeah

[Verse]
        F#                         
Well, I took a good look at my life
                 B
 and decided I'd make a change
                         C#        
Booked me a flight on an airplane, 
                            F#
I was 3rd world Peace Corps bound
F#                            
But I met me a stewardess right 
               B
there in the airport bar
                       C#        
Before I knew it I was in her car 
                  F#
and never turned around

[Chorus]
                F#              B 
Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe 
            C#
bad luck, hell maybe I'm way too 
much about having
F#
fun
          C#    F#                
I'll send you a postcard, send me 
     B                C#
your love, just don't give up on me 
yet, I'm still
Continues after the ad
growing up

          F#                       
I went to work for my uncle on the 
                 G#m
coast called the hot spot
                          A#m      
We took our breaks on the boat 
                      F#
docks and I got fired for smoking 
pot
         F#                        
with the beach right there I guess 
                        G#m
surfing was the logical next move
    A#m                            
But I got mouthy with the wrong 
                      F#
dude and got my damn jaw tattooed

[Chorus]
                F#              B 
Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe 
            C#
bad luck, hell maybe I'm way too 
much about having
F#
fun
          C#    F#                
I'll send you a postcard, send me 
     B                C#

yet, I'm still
growing up, Alright

I bought an old guitar with cash 
                     B
from a good hand of blackjack
learned a few chords from a 
C#                        F#
fat-back, hairy man named Pete
        F#                         
I got a local gig on the weekends 
           B
in some old honky-tonk
                               C#  
Singing 2 hours of nothing but Cash
 songs, and I could always drink for
 F#
 free
         F#                        
And some so called big-wig, 
              B
producer man started sniffing 'round
              C#                
He told me he liked my sound but 
                                F#
there was something holding me back
          F#                   
He said a rhinestone suit and a 
                  B
cowboy hat outta do the trick
                           C#      
I told him I had something he could
                      F#
 stick, way on up his ass

[Chorus]
                F#              B 
Well, maybe I'm reckless, maybe 
            C#
bad luck, hell maybe I'm way too 
much about having

I'll send you a postcard, send me

yet, I'm

                        but don't
                             C#
 give up on me yet
                             F#
I know I might take a little time
                           F#
But I'm gonna come around
I just feel Like I still got a few 
    B                              
things I gotta Get out of my 
C#       F#
system, ha ha
