[Verse 1]
C G C
All my rowdy friends have settled down
F G C
And they seem to be more into laid back songs
G
And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud
C
Everybody just wants to go back home
C G C
I myself have seen my wilder days
F G C
And I have seen my name at the top of the page
F G C
But I need to find me a friend just to run around
F C Dm
But nobody wants to get high on the town
F G C
And all my rowdy friends have settled down…
[Chorus]
F G
And I think I know what my father meant
C
When he sang about a lost highway
F G C
And ole' George Jones I'm glad to see is finally getting straight
F G C Em Dm
And Waylon's staying at home and loving Jesse more these days
F C Dm
And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud
F G C
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
[Instrumental Solo]
(same chord progression)
[Verse 2]
F G C
And the hangovers hurt more than they used to
F G C
And corn bread and iced tea took the place of pills and 90-proof
F G C Em Dm
And it seems like none of us do things quite like we used to do
F C Dm
And nobody wants to get high on the town
F G C
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
[Chorus]
F G
And I think I know what my father meant
C
When he sang about a lost highway
F G C
And Johnny Cash don't act like he did back in '68
F G C Em Dm
And Kris he is a movie star and he moved out to L.A.
F C Dm
And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud
F G C
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
F G C
Yea me and my rowdy friends done rowded on down
[Outro]
C G C
