But it's an awful awakening ... in a country boy's life
 
                             C         G
To look in the mirror ... in total sur-prise 
                                        D         G
At the hair on my shoulders ... and the age in my eyes

It's a measure of people ... who don't under-stand 
                               D         G

I got my first guitar ... when I was four-teen 
                                 D             G
