Got some [C]discount [C/B]Knowledge at the [Am]Junior [G]College
Where we [F]majored in [G]beer and [C]girls
It was all real [C/B]funny 'til we [Am]ran out of [G]money
and they [F]threw us out [G]into the [C]world
Yeah the kids that [C/B]thought they'd [Am]run this [G]town
ain't a [F]runnin' much of [G][C]anything

[G]preacher breaking [F]up the [C]fight
Then [C/B]later on at the [Am]Green Light [G]Tavern
