Key: :[A] (w: Jason Sellards, Scott Hoffman)
INTRO:
[A] [G] [Bm] [A] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
When you
[A] grow up, livin' like a good boy
[G] oughta
And your
[Bm] mama, takes a shine to her best
[A] son
Something
[A] different, all the girls they seem to
[G] like you
Cause you're
[Bm] handsome, like to talk and a whole lot of
[A] fun
VERSE 2:
But now your
[Bm] girl's gone a
[Bm/A] missin'
And your
[Bm/G#] house has got an
[Bm/E] empty
[A] bed
The folks'll
[Bm] wonder 'bout the
[Bm/A] wedding
They won't
[Bm/G#] listen to a
[Bm/E] word you
[A] said
PRE-CHORUS 1:
Gonna
[A] take your mama out all night
Yeah we'll
[G] show her what it's all about
We'll get her
[D] jacked up on some cheap champagne
We'll let the
[A] good times all roll out
PRE-CHORUS 2:
And if the
[A] music ain't good, well it's just too bad
We're gonna
[G] sing along no matter what
Because the
[D] dancers don't mind at the New Orleans
If you tip
[A] 'em and they make a cut ^
[G]
CHORUS:
[A] Do it, take your mama
[G] out all night
So she'll have no
[D] doubt that we're doing oh the best we
[A] can ^
[G]
We're gonna
[A] do it, take your mama
[G] out all night
You can
[D] stay up late 'cause baby you're a full grown
[A] man ^
[G]
BREAK: [A] [G] [Bm] [A]
VERSE 3:
It's a
[A] struggle, livin' like a good boy
[G] oughta
In the
[Bm] summer, watchin' all the girls pass
[A] by
When your
[A] mama, heard the way that you'd been
[G] talking
I tried to
[Bm] tell you, that all she'd wanna do is
[A] cry
VERSE 4:
Now we
[Bm] end up takin' the
[Bm/A] long way home
[Bm/G#] Lookin' overdressed wearin'
[Bm/E] buckets of stale co-
[A]-logne
It's so
[Bm] hard to see streets on a
[Bm/A] country road
When your
[Bm/G#] glasses in the garbage, and your
[Bm/E] Continental's just got
[A] towed
