[Verse 1] - - - [C] All my rowdy [G] friends have settled [C] down, and [F] they seem to be more [G] into laid back [C] songs.  [G] Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud.  Everybody just wants to go back [C] home

[C] I myself have [G] seen my wilder [C] days.  And [F] I have seen my [G] name at the top of the [C] page.  But I [F] need to find a [G] friend just to run [C] around.  But [F] nobody wants to get [C] high on the [Dm] town; And [F] all my rowdy [G] friends have settled [C]  down

[Chorus 1] - - - And I [F] think I know what my [G] father meant when he [C] sang about a lost highway.  And [F] old George Jones I'm [G] glad to see is [C] finally getting straight; and [F] Waylon's staying [G]  home and loving [C] Jessi more these  days. [F Em Dm] - - - But [F] nobody wants to get [C] drunk and get [Dm] loud; And [F] all my rowdy [G] friends have settled [C]  down

[Verse 2] - - - And the [F] hangovers [G] hurt more then they [C] used to.  And [F] cornbread and [G] ice tea took the [C] place of 90 proof;  And it [F] seems like none of us [G] do things quite [C] like we [F Em Dm] used to do. [F] Nobody wants to get [Em] high on the [Dm] town; And [F] all my rowdy [G] friends have settled [C]  down

[Chorus 2] - - - - Yeah I [F] think I know what my [G] father meant when he [C] sang about a lost highway.   And [F] Johnny Cash don't [G] act like he did [C] back in '68.  And [F] Kris he is a [G] movie star and he's [C] moved off to. [F Em Dm] L.A.

And [F] nobody wants to get [C] drunk and get [Dm] loud; - - - - - [F] nobody wants to get [C] high on the [Dm] town; - - - - - And [F] all my rowdy [G] friends have settled [C]  down. - - - - - Yeah [F] me and my rowdy [G] friends done rowdied on [C] down  [ C G C ]
