G D G C G D G
I'll see you around round my hometown

Well I played ball every single fall
G
I could run just like the wind
G C
I went to college like they asked me to
D
But they didn't ask my friends
G C
Don't think I've seen a single classroom
G
But I drank a lot of beer
G C
My buddies still love to listen to me
