[Verse 1]
C                                          Dm
Good mornin' fella you don't look too good today

Your eyes are red your skin is pale
              G7              C
You look like you could use a shave
                                                            Dm
You had a good time last night look at the price you had to pay

You think that you'd know better than to still
   G7               C
Be carryin' on this way


[Verse 2]
                                      Dm
Look at the gray stickin' out of your hair

You think that you could take a hint
          G7                          C
There's a reason mother nature put it there

While you're out there makin' more wrinkles
                                        Dm
Your family's makin' more memories everyday

Y think that you'd know better than to still
   G7               C
Be carryin' on this way


[Chorus]
F             Am              G7                  C
Crashin' into 40 might better think about growin' up
          Dm                                            G7
You got a wife and kids that lean on you are you strong enough
    F             Am                 G7                         C
Get down off your high horse ain't nobody listenin' to what you say
    Dm
You think that you'd know better than to still
   G7               C
Be carryin' on this way


[Verse 3]
                                                              Dm
I rinse off the toothbrush put the lid back on the toothpaste tube
                                                          G7      C
Then I look up in the mirror just to get me one more good look at you
                                                                 Dm
Man you can't be as dumb as you look it ain't too late to make a change

You think that you'd know better than to still
   G7               C
Be carryin' on this way


[Chorus]
F             Am              G7                  C
Crashin' into 40 might better think about growin' up
          Dm                                            G7
You got a wife and kids that lean on you are you strong enough
    F             Am                 G7                         C
Get down off your high horse ain't nobody listenin' to what you say
    Dm
You think that you'd know better than to still
   G7               C
Be carryin' on this way


[Outro]
         Dm
Yeah you think that you'd know better than to still
   G7               C
Be carryin' on this way
