[Intro]
D C Bm A2
[Verse 1]
D
We were thin as rails, thick as thieves
C
Little acorns trying to be trees
Bm A2
16 going on 18 going on 21
D
We choked on smokes, gagged on bourbon
C
Hitting 'em both, bound and determined
Bm
To be anywhere but where we were
A2
Somebody mighta said it but we wouldn't of heard it
[Chorus]
D C
Say, young man you're growin' up so fast
Bm A2
You only get one chance, one chance to be a young man, Young man
D
You won't know what these carefree days are worth
C
When you're up to your blue collar neck in work
Bm
Soak it in while you still can
A2
Just be young, just be young man
[Verse 2]
D
She was driving me wild in a Z28
C
Strawberry boones, was gas on a flame
Bm
She had her finger on the trigger
A2
Neither one of us considered the safety
D
Bmackseat rodeo was all fun and games
C
Till she told me I ruined her life, she was late
Bm A2
I wanted to run 'cause all I could think
[Chorus]
D C
I'm a young man growin' up so fast
Bm A2
I only get one chance, one chance to be young man, young man
D
You're gonna know what your carefree days are worth
C
When you're up to your blue collar neck in work
Bm A2
Soak it in while you can just be young just be just be
[Bridge]

Young man Dont just be young
[Verse 3]
Bm A
Son I'm cool when you do what do
G
The flat brim hat and peach fuzz chin
Bm A G N.C.
When I go to hug you and you try to shake my hand, think again
[Chorus]
D
Take it from your old man
C
You're growing up so fast
G D
And you only get one chance one chance to be a young man, young man
D
You don't know what your carefree days are worth
