[Verse 1]
D G DMarlboro man ain’t cool no more
A DCan’t smoke in bars like he could before
G DGotta Go round back where the drifters go
A DIf I wanna put a memory up in smoke
[Verse 2]
D G DI drove that GTO too fast
A DPut it in a ditch daddy chewed my ass
G DWorked all summer just to pay for the parts
A DSpent my last dime no it wasn’t real smart
[Chorus]
D GBut it made me feel free
DIt made me feel alive
A DLike every day on earth was a rollercoaster ride
GI broke a couple hearts
BmI knew I had to change
G A BmBut I miss that me in my wild ass ways
G A DYeah I miss the bad in the good ole days
[Verse 3]
D G DI leaned on the whiskey hard every night
A DStill showed up on time at the construction site
G DI can still see the boss man shaking his head
A DSayin' boy keep it up and you'll wind up dead
[Chorus]
D GBut it made me feel free
DIt made me feel alive
A DLike every day on earth was a rollercoaster ride
GI broke a couple hearts

G A DYeah I miss the bad in the good ole days
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
D G DI still like my whiskey over ice
A DIt goes with cigarette smoke real nice
G DBreathe in deep close your eyes
A DIt's funny how a song takes you back in time
[Chorus]
GDon't it make you feel free
DDon't it make you feel alive
A DLike you're ridin' no hands on a rollercoaster ride
GSame guy in the mirror
BmMore lines on my face
G A BmI miss that me in the wild ass ways
G A DI miss the bad in the good ole days
DYeah I do
