Sing along, relive your [D] wasted youth.
Mother, who has raised his [G] son so well, so well.
Now he's thirty-four, drinking [C] in a honky-tonk.

Now, M is for the [C] mileage I got out of this song, to tell you the truth.
[D] The way I look at this song is, the song [G] probably should have never been written, let alone recorded, let alone recorded again.
You know, [C] but the way I look at it, the career's been [D] built on less.
[G]
Yeah, because, you know, like I say, I've been trying to kind of write all these other [C] songs, and been trying to be like [D] a real songwriter.

[D] I'm [G] serious.

I know this [G] song is like politically wrong, and it's just got these three chords, doesn't even have a minor in it.
And like [C] I say, it's kind of embarrassing, you know, [D] and I feel bad about it.
