Transcribed By: Papa Sixstring
Intro: (First two lines a capella)
The only difference between men and boys
Is the size of their feet and the price of their toys
Always E horsin' around, makin' A too much noise
Aint it E funny (aint it funny) how B7 men'll be E boys
Mandolin Part: A E B7 E X2
E Kickin' tires round a A pick-up truck
E Drankin' beer and just B7 cuttin' E up
E Smokin' and jokin' out be{A}hind the shed
E Cussin' a blue streak till the B7 girls turn E red
Chorus:
A The only E difference between B7 men and E boys
Is the A size of their feet and the E price of their toys
Always E horsin' around, makin' A too much noise
Aint it E funny (aint it funny) how B7 men'll be E boys
Mandolin Part
Sneakin' out of the house tryin' to have a little fun
Lookin' for sumthin that he aint done
Look what the cat dragged in at the break of dawn, wooo
He aint passed out; he's campin' on the lawn
Chorus
Mandolin Part
You can spend a lifetime growin' up
You can spend a lifetime in a rut
When it comes a time you got to make a choice
You know, most men would just as soon be boys
Chorus X2 Then Outro With The Mandolin Part
Keep it in tune,
