[Estrofa]
C            G                    C 
All my rowdy friends have settled down 
         F               G              C 
And they seem to be more into laid back songs 
    G 
And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud 
G                               C 
Everybody just wants to go back home 
C             G              C 
I myself have seen my wilder days 
    F              G                      C 
And I have seen my name at the top of the page 
    F                G                   C 
But I need to find a friend just to run around 
    F                   Em          Dm 
But nobody wants to get high on the town 
    F            G                    C 
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
[Estribillo]
      F                    G 
And I think I know what my father meant 
        C 
When he sang about a lost highway 
    F                      G               C 
And ole' George Jones, I'm glad to see, is finally getting straight 
    F                G               C                F    Em  Dm 
And Waylon's staying home and loving Jesse more these days 
    F                   Em            Dm 
And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud 
    F            G                    C 
And all my rowdy friends have settled down

[Estrofa]
        F         G                   C 
And the hangovers hurt more than they used to 
    F                       G                 C 
And corn bread and iced tea took the place of pills and 90-proof 
       F                  G                  C               F   Em  Dm 
And it seems like none of us do things quite like we used to do 
    F                   Em          Dm 
And nobody wants to get high on the town 
    F            G                    C 
And all my rowdy friends have settled down
[Estribillo]
        F                    G 
Yeah, I think I know what my father meant 
        C 
When he sang about a lost highway 
    F                 G               C 
And Johnny Cash don't act like he did back in '68 
    F            G                 C              F   Em  Dm 
And Kris he is a movie star and he moved out to L.A. 
    F                   Em            Dm 
And nobody wants to get drunk and get loud 
    F            G                    C 
And all my rowdy friends have settled down 
      F               G                       C     G  C 
Yeah, me and my rowdy friends just rowdied on down
