Your old lady said that your jeans don't fit
    C         G        D                 Em
You eat real bad, it's time for you to quit
         Em         C     D              Em
And your doctor said last time he came around
            C        G        D                    Em
"All that tequila boy, I'm surprised you haven't drowned"

You might mess around and save your life

I wanna stay out late, I wanna play all night

I wanna rock and roll 'til I get it right
        G                        Em
I wanna drink my booze, get down in that ditch
        C                   D
I wanna chase that girl, scratch my itch
        C                             D
Gettin' older ain't as bad as they say
               G      D   Em                     C      D

Well, the police said when they came to my door
            C        G            D                Em
"Oh no, not you again, what's the matter with you boy?
             Em          C  D                Em
Keepin' your neighbors up all night raisin' hell
           C           G              D                 Em
If we come back tonight, you're gonna wish you were in jail"


[Pre-Chorus]
       C                              D
Better listen what the police have to say
        C                        Asus4         A
They'll take you down to county, lock you away


[Chorus]
        G                      Em
I wanna stay out late, I wanna play all night

I wanna rock and roll 'til I get it right
        G                        Em

We'll all die of something if we live long enough
