      A                      E
She played third base on a softball team
        D                    E
Had a pretty good arm and a real nice swing
       A                   E
I was workin part time at Gentry's farm
       D                    E
Had a thing for a girl in a uniform
                                            D
After the game she was my young, wild and free
     E                A
Yea, old Mister Gentry was pretty cool
           D
He said, "Son I know where I'd be
         E
And what I would say it was me."

Chorus:
                  A
But one of these days
                E                   D
Where going to have to grow up and get real jobs
     E               A E            D E
And be adults, some day, but not today
         A                         E
Have to worry about things out of our control
      D                     E               A E
Love kids lovin' money and getting old someday
            D E             A
Just not today, just not today.

Had a rope swing hanging from a sycamore tree
By a deep wood spot on white sand creek
Used to walk barefoot, down a little dirt path
We'd through out the beach towels and
Lay on our backs
Had four wheel drive trucks parked up in the shade
With those speakers blasted
We never knew how much we really had it made
Without a care in a world we'd say

Chorus

          D
Have to show some maturity,
    A                        E
responsibility, pay the ole fiddler
 A            D
Face reality maybe tomorrow
    A                 E
The older, wiser and we'll be
God love us will be.
