G                      D 
One day, I'll slow and lay down, 
         Em                             C 
Spend my weekends in a swing out on the wraparound. 
       G                    D 
Oh but these days, I'm on a mission 
   Em                            C 
To get these wild oats out of my system. 
       C                  D 
Yeah I might stay out all night, 
           Em                     D 
I've gotta do a little wrong so I know what's right. 

        G              F 
I wanna sit out on the porch 
        C                      G             F       C 
Telling stories 'bout my glory days when I'm pushing eighty. 
         G          F         C 
How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise 
   F            C         G F C G F C 
If I ain't ever young and crazy? 

            G                                D 
Now I might have to kiss no telling how many lips 
         Em                          C 
Before I ever really figure out what love is. 
                G                         D 
Go through some heartbreaks, wake up with headaches, 
            Em                             C 
Don't learn nothing 'til you make a lot of mistakes. 
           C                      D 
How will I know where to draw the line 
           Em                     D 
If I don't cross it a few hundred times? 

        G              F 
I wanna sit out on the porch 
        C                      G             F       C 
Telling stories 'bout my glory days when I'm pushing eighty. 
         G          F         C 
How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise 
   F            C         G F C G F C 
If I ain't ever young and crazy? 

         C                  D 
Yeah I'm gonna stay out all night, 
           Em                     D 
I've gotta do a little wrong so I know what's right 
           G             F           C 
I've gotta live a lot of life if I'm gonna give good advice 
         G          F        C 
When I'm talking to my grand-babies 
         G          F         C 
How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise 
   F            C         G 
If I ain't ever young and crazy? 

        G              F 
I wanna sit out on the porch 
        C                      G             F       C 
Telling stories 'bout my glory days when I'm pushing eighty. 
         G          F         C 
How am I ever gonna get to be old and wise 
   F            C         G 
If I ain't ever young and crazy?

If I ain't ever young and crazy?
