               G          D        G 
Intro.:  I just can't get away form a good       
 C             G           C 
time  
          G                     
It started out innocent enough, hanging in  
the backyard working on my truck 
            C 
Turning some wrenches, cranking some tunes 
    
 a typical Saturday afternoon 
                    G 
Next thing I know my neighbor Pete walked  
      
back, said his weed wacker ran out of gas 
               C                  
We looked hard, couldn't find a drop,ended 

 up at the fridge in the back of my shop 

(Pre-Chorus) 
        Em 
One cold one turned into four, four's got  
 D 
a way of turning into more 
            C 
Bust out the wieners, bust out the buns,   

fire up the grill, gonna have a little fun 

(Chorus) 
               G 
It follows me around wherever I go, just  

Like a wake behind my old bass boat 
          C 
One minute I'm just hanging around, next  

thing you know a damn party breaks out 
               Em 
Hey, I'm just a victim of the circumstance               
               D 
I've learned to make it all a part of my  

plans 
        C 
It don't matter how hard I try, 
      G           D         G 
I just can't get away from a good time 

Solo:  C       G        C 

                  G 
We were cutting it up and telling some  

jokes, talking Nascar and UFO's 
                 C 
That chain-linked fence don't keep out  

much, the rest of the block started  

showing on up. 
          G 
Ran out of charcoal, ran to the store,  

they were running the deal on cases of 

Coors 
             C 
If you bought one it was regular price,  

but if you bought two it, you got a free 

 bag of ice 

(Pre-Chorus) 
                      Em 
Hell, so I bought four and it made me grin 
             D 
I was walking out when pretty girls were  

walking in 
                 C 
You could say the stars just lined-up just  
right, but it ain't luck man, it's just my  
life 

(Chorus) 
             G 
It follows me around wherever I go, 

just like a wake behind my old bass boat 
          C 
One minute  I'm just hanging around, next  

thing you know a damn party breaks out 
               Em 
Hey, I'm just a victim of the circumstance 
               D 
I've learned to make it all a part of my  

plans 
        C 
It don't matter how hard I try, I just  
G          D         G 
can't get away from a good time 

Solo:   
 C           G         C 
    Oh no, I  can't  

(Pre-Chorus) 
               Em 
I guess that ol'truck's gonna wait another 
                         D 
 day, maybe two or three, it keeps going  

this way 
               C 
Oh, but I don't care, say what you want 

 man, we only get to live it up once 

(Half-Chorus) 
               G 
It follows me around wherever I go, 

 just like a wake behind my old bass boat 
          C 
One minute I'm just hanging around,  

next thing you know a damn party breaks 

 out 

(Chorus) 
                     G 
Yeah, it follows me around wherever I go,  

just like a wake behind my old bass boat 
              C 
One minute I'm just hanging around,  

next thing you know a damn party breaks  

out 
               Em 
Hey, I'm just a victim of the circumstance 
                 D 
can't turn down a drink, can't turn down a  
dance. 
        C 
It don't matter how hard I try, 
      G          D    
I just can't get away,  
      Em             C             D 
I just can't get away, I can't get away    
      G         C 
from a good time  
      G           C         G 
I just can't get away from a good time.
