C G F C
All my friends are growing up
G C
Changing pretty girls last names
G
I'm still finding my way
F C
Rolling down the highway
G C GFCGC
Playing a much younger man's game
C G F C
Every night we're drinking
G C
In dive bars and dance halls
G
They're all at that age
F C
Where they're all having babies
G C
And picking out the nursery color walls.
Am G C
They all ask me how I'm doing
Am G C
I just smile and realize
G
That although it was kind to me
F C
My youth is all behind me
G C
Now I'm on the losing side
G C GFCGC
The losing side of twenty five
C G F C
Mom and dad did the best they could
G C
Too raise me the right way
G
but I lean more to the wrong
F C
And I started writing songs
G C GFCGC
Learning I had something to say
G F C
So every week at the food lion
G C
All the other parents boast
G
About their kids graduating
F C
Getting higher educations
G C
And the big city jobs that they chose
Am G C
My parents asked me how I'm doing
Am G C
I hang my head and close my eyes
G
They say don't throw your life away
F C
Go and get a job that pays
G C
We love you and we know that you tried
G C GFCGC
That losing side of twenty five
G F C
Yeah I might never have a mansion
G C
Hell I might never own me a home
G
But I got a couple of songs
F C
And some boys that I call friends
G C GFCGC
And a pretty girl that I can call my own
G F C
Yeah I might never be a millionaire
G C
That's alright by me
G
Cus' I've done the things I wanted to
F C
And said the things I needed to
G C
And seen the things I wanted to see
Am G C
So when they all ask me how I'm doing
Am G C
I just smile and realize
G
There are different roads to happiness
F C
I took a different path I guess
G C
Came out on the other side just fine
G C
The losing side of twenty five
G
Yeah there are different roads to happiness
F C
Took a different path I guess
G C
Came out on the other side just fine
G C
Just a different side of twenty five
