i rolled my Daddy’s truck off the ( F ) dicksonville curve

and ( G ) i shook hands on A ( F ) deal with a man
and ( C ) found out he was lyin’

i’ve ( G ) broken a couple of ( F ) good girl’s hearts
’cause i’ve ( C ) said i loved ’em knowin’ i ( F ) couldn’t
( G ) and i’ve given my ( F ) heart to a woman
who said she’d ( C ) stay when i knew she wouldn’t

but i’ve ( F ) lived and i’ve ( C ) learned from ( G ) it
i’ve ( F ) made some ( C ) mistakes but ( F ) that’s what it ( C ) takes
to ( D ) make a man out of a kid
