C 
 (C major)  (F major)  (G major)  (C major) My old man said take
F 
it slow and  (F major) steady
Cause the sweet things take their

You'll find a good woman when

you're good and  (F major) ready

C 
Oh, but I had other  (E minor) things in  (C major) mind
F 
So I took off like a jackrabbit  (F major) runnin'
Got so far out in front that I
G 
C 
 (G major) thought that I'd  (C major) won it
But when I got to the end
F 
I didn't have  (F major) nothin'
Now I'm thinkin' that
C 
turtle was  (C major) on to somethin'
F 
Well, I went fast and I went  (F major) hard
G 
C 
Yeah, I tore it up all  (G major) over town  (C major)

So I took off like a jackrabbit  (F major) runnin'

F 
a deep one  (F major) out
G 
C 
And let a little dust settle  (G major) on my  (C major) boots I

turn my chair so I can just look  (F major) out
On a piece of land where I can
G 
C 
 (G major) grow some  (C major) roots
F 
Cause when I took off like a jackrabbit  (F major) running I
G 
got so far out in front that I  (G major) thought that
C 
I'd  (C major) won it
But when I got to the end,
F

Now I'm thinkin' that turtle was
G

I didn't know  (F major) nothin'
Now I see that turtle was
