Grown Ass Man

Capo 2 


                D 
They said I can lose a little lip 
         Bm 
And lose count a hundred dollar bills 
        G                                       A 
Be that small town boy that finally made it out 
               D  
I think that's where they had me wrong 
          Bm 
I want to write my own damn songs 
            G                                        D     A 
And I don't want to move to Nashville, man, I've got home 

Bm             Bm/A            G              
Yeah, what you see is what you get 
             Bm 
And when you look at me, man 
  Bm/A  
I hope when you look at me you see 
   G          A  
As real as it gets 


Chorus: 
            D 
Cause I'm a grown ass man 
                Bm            
You ain't gonna change my ways 
             G 
Hell I ain't set in stone 
                A 
I'm set in that red Georgia clay 
                   D  
Man, I was brought up on that book 
       Bm 
And my grand-daddy's knee 
        G                              A 
You can bet your ass that I know who I am 
                D   G  A    
I'm a grown ass man 

            D 
Well hell I ain't no politician 
            Bm 
And kissing ass just ain't my style 
          G 
So if you ask me the wrong questions 
              G                 A 
I'll give you more than just my dime 
        Bm             A                  G      
All you really need to know about where I stand 
    Bm             A                     G                 A 
Somewhere between Amazing Grace, Back In Black, and Simple Man 


Chorus: 
            D 
Cause I'm a grown ass man 
                Bm            
You ain't gonna change my ways 
             G 
Hell I ain't set in stone 
                A 
I'm set in that red Georgia clay 
                   D  
Man, I was brought up on that book 
       Bm 
And my grand-daddy's knee 
        G                              A 
You can bet your ass that I know who I am 
                Bm    
I'm a grown ass man 

Solo 


Bridge: 
           Bm  
Some folks say that I'm an outlaw 
        G   
Oh, but I ain't earned that yet 
            D   
I'll be the first to say I still got dues to pay 
       A 
I hope I go out like that 
      Bm 
And I know this world is changing 
      G 
But I know the King James ain't 
            D 
It ain't no secret I'm a sinner 
        A 
I never claimed to be no saint 


Chorus: 
            D 
Cause I'm a grown ass man 
                Bm            
You ain't gonna change my ways 
             G 
Hell I ain't set in stone 
                A 
I'm set in that red Georgia clay 
                   D  
Man, I was brought up on that book 
       Bm 
And my grand-daddy's knee 
        G                              A 
You can bet your ass that I know who I am 
                Bm    
I'm a grown ass man
