Seven years old in my radio flyer

Billy said I was a liar and now I'm scared half to death

Becky said Billy was dumb I shouldn't listen to him
E B
But I had something to prove
E A
Ain't nobody gonna call me a chicken

Billy just you wait and see
E A
I was just a kid barely 18 years
E B E
And I couldn't wait to graduate, confident and cocky
A E B E
And man it really got me when I heard my daddy say
E A
You oughtta get some knowledge, you gotta go to college
E B
Gotta make something of your life
E A
But I had to do it my way so I headed for the highway
E B E
And I followed those little white lines
