      A 
Well, this here 19 year old prepubescent 
     D 
went down the street to the 7-eleven 
    E 
and walked right up to the cashier, 
        A 
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, 
          A* 
I’m gonna have to go to plan B. 

 
    A                                  D 
I’m stealing, stealing bottles from my dad, 
         Esus4**      E**             A 
no, it’s really, it's really not that bad. 
         A                                  E 
Stealing whiskey, stealing wine, taking whatever I can find, 
     Esus4                 E** 
from time to time I’ve had   to steal bottles from my dad. 

Interlude:

| A           | A           | A           | A           | 

 
           A 
Well, I’ve done it once, maybe twice, 
      D 
hell, who am I kidding I’ve done it all my life, 
     E 
but, hey, who’s counting, no not me, 
         A* 
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, 
    D 
oh, yeah, if you see my dad tell him not to look 
E* 
in the refrigerator tonight. 
    N.C. 
I’m pretty sure he’s all outta Coor’s light. 

 
    A                                  D 
I’m stealing, stealing bottles from my dad, 
         Esus4**      E**             A 
no, it’s really, it's really not that bad. 
         A                                           E 
Stealing tequila, stealing (lyrics?) wine taking whatever I can find, 
     Esus4                 E                          A 
from time to time I’ve had   to steal bottles from my dad. 

         A*                            D* 
Stealing bottles from my dad, no, it’s really not that bad, 
         Esus4*                             A* 
stealing whiskey, stealing wine, taking whatever I can find. 
     A*                A7*          D* 
From time to time I’ve had to steal bottles from my dad, 
     Esus4* 
but it ain’t that bad, he still loves me ... 
                                A          A* 
even though I drink his whiskey.
