[Intro]
F#        B        C#       F#
[Verse]
I spent a F#summer down south, working for the county, trying to Bsave for school
I blew it all like a C#damn fool on women and F#beer
F#I didn't have the grades but I had myself a major league Bfastball
Got a call from the minor leagues in C#Wichita and blew out my arm in the F#first year,      
ha-ha, yeah
[Instrumental]
F#     B     C#      F#
[Verse]
Well, I F#took a good look at my life and decided I'd Bmake a change
Booked me a flight on an C#airplane, I was 3rd world Peace Corps F#bound
F#But I met me a stewardess right there in the Bairport bar
Before I knew it I was C#in her car and never turned F#around
[Chorus]
Well, maybe I'm F#reckless, maybe Bbad luck, hell C#maybe I'm way too much about having
F#fun
I'll send C#you a F#postcard, send me your Blove, just don't C#give up on me yet, I'm still 
growing up
[Verse]
I went to F#work for my uncle on the coast called the G#mhot spot
We took our breaks on the A#mboat docks and I got fired for F#smoking pot
with the F#beach right there I guess surfing was the logical G#mnext move
But A#mI got mouthy with the wrong dude and got my damn jaw F#tattooed
[Chorus]
Well, maybe I'm F#reckless, maybe Bbad luck, hell C#maybe I'm way too much about having
F#fun
I'll send C#you a F#postcard, send me your Blove, just don't C#give up on me yet, I'm still 
growing up, Alright
[Instrumental]
F#    B     C#      F#
[Verse]
I bought an F#old guitar with cash from a good hand of Bblackjack
learned a few chords from a C#fat-back, hairy man named F#Pete
I got a F#local gig on the weekends in some old Bhonky-tonk
Singing 2 hours of nothing but C#Cash songs, and I could always drink for F#free
And some F#so called big-wig, producer man started Bsniffing 'round
He told me he C#liked my sound but there was something holding me F#back
He said a F#rhinestone suit and a cowboy hat outta Bdo the trick
I told him I had something C#he could stick, way on up his F#ass
[Chorus]
Well, maybe I'm F#reckless, maybe Bbad luck, hell C#maybe I'm way too much about having
F#fun
I'll send C#you a F#postcard, send me your Blove, just don't C#give up on me yet, I'm 
still
F#growing up
I'll send C#you a F#postcard, send me your Blove, just don't C#give up on me yet, I'm still 
growing up, Alright
[Outro]
                       F#   Bbut don't give up on me yetC#  
I know I might take a little F#time
But I'm gonna come aroundF#  
I just feel Like I still got a few thinBgs I gotta Get out of my systemC#, ha ha F#
