Chayce Beckham - 23 (Steel Mix) Lyrics

[Verse 1]Simple as my mama said when I was very youngShe told me, "Not to worry, son, one day, you'll be someone"But here I am at twenty-one as loaded as a stagecoach shotgunI'm sorry, Mama, please don't look at me[Verse 2]When I got to Oklahoma, I was seventeenMy papa taught me how to work, and Lord, he was meanWorkin' all day in that August heatAnd he taught me how to fish, my uncle taught me how to drink[Chorus]Now I'm twenty-threeAnd there ain't nobody who can drink like meSoon, I'll be twenty-fourAnd the Lord knows that I can't drink no moreI know I shoulda taken it slowIt's not the way that my life goesNow I knowWhen you're passed out on the floorYou're sober by twenty-four[Verse 3]Well, I had a girl who loved me the whole damn timeAnd I'd drink my whiskey and she'd drink wineBut soon, my bottle was too much to company[Verse 4]Yeah, we'd sit on the river and we'd fish all dayAnd we'd drive across the country, let the radio playSeven damn years, I never thought she'd leave[Chorus]Now I'm twenty-threeAnd there ain't nobody who can drink like meSoon, I'll be twenty-fourAnd the Lord knows that I can't drink no moreI know I shoulda taken it slowIt's not the way that my life goesLord, I knowWhen you're passed out on the floorYou're sober by twenty-four[Outro]Simple as my mama said when I was very young
