            G                     F                
I rolled my daddy's truck off the Dixonville curve 
      C
after drinkin' my fifth beer
    G                    F               C
And I fed hogs tryin' to pay him off for most of my 
senior year
         G               F               C
I got my jaw jacked by a big ole boy for messin' 'round
 with his girlfriend
          G                    F                      
But she's tall and tan and she kissed just right, but 
     C
I'll never do that again

[Chorus]
G     F              C                         G
Yeah, I've done some pretty stupid things, but hey
                            F                         
I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter, that's 
C
how I got to be this way

[Verse]
G                       F                       C
I've been kicked in the face by horse, 'cause I ran up 
too fast behind him
    G                  F                   C
And I shook hands on a deal with a man and found out he
 was lyin'
     G               F                           C
I've broken a couple good girls hearts, 'cause I said I
 loved 'em knowin' I couldn't
G                 F                               C
And I've given my heart to a woman who said she'd stay 
when I knew she wouldn't

[Chorus]
G     F              C                         G
Yeah, I've done some pretty stupid things, but hey
                            F                         
I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter, that's 
C                    G
how I got to be this way

[Bridge]
          F              C                F         
I've been bit, I've been burned, but I've lived and 
     C            G
I've learned from it
G              D        G                D          E
     F              C          F              C        
I've made some mis- takes, but that's what it takes to 
D
make a man out of a kid

[Chorus]
G     F              C                         G
Yeah, I've done some pretty stupid things, but hey
                            F                         
I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter, that's 
C
how I got to be this way

[Chorus]
G     F              C                         G
Yeah, I've done some pretty stupid things, but hey
                            F                         
I'm a little bit harder and whole lot smarter, that's 
C
how I got to be this way

       G                     F
That's how I got to be this, how I got to be this
C                 G
How I got to this way, hey
