Well, this here 19 year old prepubescent

went down the street to the 7-eleven

and walked right up to the cashier,

holding two cold cases of beer.
A
And I smiled and gave him my fake ID
D
and he took one good hard look at me
E
and he laughed and he said: kid,
A
nice try but, uh, uh, not tonight.
A
Well, I got pissed off and I drove outta there,
D
wishing I was older with a little more facial hair
E
but above wishing I had me just
A
a little bit of alcohol.
A
So, I sat around thinking what to do,
D
trying to figure out how I’d score some booze
E
and I thought to myself unfortunately,

I’m gonna have to go to plan B.

A
Well, I’ve done it once, maybe twice,

I’m only five finger discounting.
A
Don’t you worry, daddy, I’ll pay you back
D
when I’m old enough to buy that Tennessee Jack
E
and I’ll restock your entire liquor cabinet
A
with your favourite scotch: Mr Buchanans.
A
Lord knows I’ve stolen at least a dozen
D
over the years but so has my brother and cousin.
E
We’re good kids, I swear we ain’t punks,
A
it’s just that we steal to get drunk.
A
Folks, please don’t call me thief or a crook,
