For this song, play the  Cchord as a  Cadd9and  Emas Em7.  That's the way Brantley plays it
Intro: G, Cadd9, Em7, Cadd9  
Verse 1:
(G) Look at them boys in the back of that truck
(Cadd9) Somebody oughta jerk a knot in their butts
Out (Em7) ridin around like they own this town
(Cadd9) Racket turned all the way up
(G) It's too early for school to let out
(D/F#) The pastor's boy just threw his cigarette out
(Em7) Sure hope there ain't beer in them cups
(Cadd9) The all-star quarter backs turning them up
Chorus:
(G) Yeah them boys don't know one thing about life
(Cadd9) True love and trouble, stuggles and strides
(Em7) They think it's all just fun and games
(Cadd9) Like laws and rules are balls and chains
(G) Treat little girls like hearts don't break
(Cadd9) Treatin old men like hands don't shake
(Em7) I pray it's just a phase, they're goin through
Oh but (Em7) what (D/F#) are we gonna (Cadd9) do with them boys
Verse 2:
(G) I heard ol' Frank's grandson got caught
(Cadd9) With a case full of beer at Smith-boy's barn
(Em7) Yall didn't hear all of this from me
(Cadd9) But I heard he got it with a fake ID
Chorus again
Instrumental is the intro once again
Bridge:
(Em7) Lookin back on the times we've shared,
(Cadd9) Rockin and roll in these rockin chairs
(G) The same ones our granddaddy's sat (D/F#) in
Now this (Em7) old wood stone in this hardware store
(Cadd9) Talkin gossip, weather and war
(G) And how much trouble we were (D/F#) in
Oh you can (Em7) bet they (D/F#) said it back (Cadd9) then
Chorus one more time
Outro is the chorus twice more with Brantley tagging lines like "Them boys
(WIll)
