Intro
C#
Verse 1:
C# G#
She left 3 months after graduation
A#m F#
For Valdosta and a higher education.
C# G# F#
I stayed behind, took a job out there feeding grain.
C# G#
It was late night phone calls, working overtime
A#m F#
Doing anything to keep her mine,
C# G# F#
Putting all my hard-earned dough in a diamond ring.
A#m G#
I was wide-eyed, young, in love,
A#m G# F#
Heading to her college in my pickup truck,
A#m G#
But when I arrived, to my surprise,
F# F#
She was on the couch all whiskey-eyed, kissing on some other guy.
Chorus:
C# G#
There comes a time when you get taught a lesson
A#m F#
Making it clear you've got a lot to learn
C# G# F#
About love, life, and women.
C# G#
Well I learned mine out on Brookwood Drive,
A#m F#
Things ain't what they seem sometimes,
C# G# F#
And heartache is just a part of living.
G# F#
Yeah I know a good education will cost you,
C#
But I got mine for free, in Valdosta.
Verse 2:
C# G#
I didn't hang around for an explanation,
A#m F#
I laid out without hesitation
C# G# F#
Right after I spit my dip in his eye.
C# G#
But if it wasn't for her promiscuous ways,
A#m F#
I'd have never stopped at that cafe
C# G# F#
Where a sweet little brown-eyed girl asked me what I'd like.
C# G#
I said, "How 'bout a love that lasts,
A#m F#
D# girl who's looking for an honest man?"
C# G#
She said, "I know how it feels
F# F#
When you're out there spinning your wheels, tryna find something real.
Chorus:
C# G#
There comes a time when you get taught a lesson
A#m F#
Making it clear you've got a lot to learn
C# G# F#
About love, life, and women.
C# G#
Yeah I learned mine out on Brookwood Drive,
A#m F#
Things ain't what they seem sometimes,
C# G# F#
And heartache is just a part of living.
G# F#
Well I know a good education will cost you,
C#
But I got mine for free, in Valdosta.
C# G# A#m F#
Bridge:
D#m
Now that brown-eyed girl is riding shotgun,
F#
We've got a sunset and a fifth of rum.
D#m
And in my own way, I'm thankful now
G#
for that little South Georgia college town.
Chorus:
C# G#
There comes a time when you get taught a lesson
A#m F#
Making it clear you've got a lot to learn
C# G# F#
About love, life, and women.
C# G#
Hey I learned mine out on Brookwood Drive,
A#m F#
Things ain't what they seem sometimes,
C# G# F#
And heartache is just a part of living.
C# G# F#
Yeah, I said a heartache is just a part of living.
G#
I know a good education will cost you,
F# C# G# F#
But I got mine for free, in Valdosta.
C# G# F#
Way down in Valdosta.
C#
Ooohhh.
