[E]I’ve been doing my best to make [B]church on [A]Sundays [E] [B] [A]
And [E]ain’t been calling in [B]hungover most [A]Mondays [E] [B] [A]
I [E]guess you could say I’m [B]being grown [A]up
I [E]got my shit together and [B]oddly [A]enough
I don’t [E]mind, [B]’cause it’s [A]about [E]time
[B]But if you second guessing, don’t think for a second, that I can’t [A]hang
[chorus]
[E]’Cause I’ve been known to get a little bit of [B]wild and [A]reckless
[C#m]Known to have a little bit of [A]beer with breakfast
[E]You can bet these boots have [B]gotten pretty used to, [A]stomping on a hardwood floor
[E]And buying the bar another [B]round of shots [A] [C#m]close my tab and hit the [A]parking lot
[E]Next stop is a spot with a [B]fridge stocked on the back [A]porch
[B]I ain’t afraid to take too many steps out of [A]line [E]
[C#m]So don’t tempt [B]me with a good [E]time
[verse 2]
[E]Well most folks think I don’t [B]know how to throw [A]down [E] [B] [A]
[E]They done forgot about Rowdy, but [B]no doubt he’s still [A]around [E] [B] [A]
So [E]keep cracking those jokes, ’cause I’m [B]willing and [A]able
[B]Yeah, this old boy’ll drink you under the [A]table
[chorus]
[E]’Cause I’ve been known to get a little bit of [B]wild and [A]reckless
[C#m]Known to have a little bit of [A]beer with breakfast
[E]You can bet these boots have [B]gotten pretty used to, [A]stomping on a hardwood floor
[E]And buying the bar another [B]round of shots [A] [C#m]close my tab and hit the [A]parking lot
[E]Next stop is a spot with a [B]fridge stocked on the back [A]porch
[B]I ain’t afraid to take too many steps out of [A]line [E]
[C#m]So don’t tempt [B]me with a good time [E]
[Closing]
At [E]3AM I’m still hanging tough, my [B]buddy’s passed out in the bed of my truck
[C#m]And I can’t wait ’til he wakes up, and see the [A]pictures on his phone
[chorus]
[E]’Cause I’ve been known to get a little bit of [B]wild and [A]reckless
[C#m]Known to have a little bit of [A]beer with breakfast
[E]You can bet these boots have [B]gotten pretty used to, [A]stomping on a hardwood floor
[E]And buying the bar another [B]round of shots [A] [C#m]close my tab and hit the [A]parking lot
[E]Next stop is a spot with a [B]fridge stocked on the back [A]porch
[B]I ain’t afraid to take too many steps out of [A]line [E]
[C#m]So don’t tempt [B]me with a good time; [E]with a good time
