[INTRO]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] [G] [A]
[VERSE 1]
[D]Being young got [G]old
I[A] couldn't wait to grow up [D]
When I finally [G]hit eighteen
[A]I got out of this tired old town
[D]I didn't get back much [G]
[A]As much as mama w[D]anted
The few times I [G]did get back
[A]It didn't hit me like it did back then
[CHORUS 1]
[D]The house got small
D[G]ad lost his hair
[A]The rope swing and the trees [D]aren't there
The neighbor, she ain't [G]sweet old Mrs
J[A]ones
Little [D]sister's not right down the [G]hall
[A]Rex ain't around to fetch his [Bm7]ball
[G]No need to ride to g[D]randma's down the
[Em]road
[G]Damn old Father [A]Time for stealing [D]home
[D] [G] [A] [D]
[VERSE 2]
[D]It didn't take two [G]weeks
From the [A]time the sign first went [D]up
Dad said the folks [G]who bought it
[A]Sure do seem to love the place
[D]Mom called and I [G]came
[A]To help her load the U-[D]Haul
Seems for every [G]box I pack
I [A]find another yesterday
[CHORUS 2]
[D]The house was huge and [G]dad had hair
There was a [A]rope swing on the tree [D]right there
No one baked a p[G]ie like Mrs J[A]ones
And [D]we grew like weeds on the k[G]itchen wall
[A]Rex, he lived to fetch his [Bm]ball
An[G]d grandma was a [D]bike ride down the
[Em7]road
[G]Damn old Father [A]Time for stealing [D]home
[D] [G] [A]
