My (D)Daddy used to tan my hide, (A7)Out Behind the Barn
He taught me to be dignified (D)Out Behind the Barn
(G)When he took his strap to me
And (D)turned me down across his knee
He (A7)sure missed up my dignity, Out Behind the(D) Barn

chorus;
  I (D)got my education (A7)Out Behind the Barn
  I ain't a foolin' no sir-(D)eeee
  Passed each examination (A7)Out Behind the Barn
  And it almost made a man out of (D)me

I(D) smoked my first cigarette (A7)Out Behind the Barn
And that's one day I won't forget (D)Out Behind the Barn
I(G) got sick you should have seen
How (D)that tobacco turned me green
I (A7)almost died of nicotine Out Behind the (D)Barn

I met a pretty girl one day Out Behind the Barn
She wanted me to stay and play Out Behind the Barn
She taught me to kiss and pet
That's a game I can't forget
Cause we still play that same game yet Out Behind the Barn

chorus;

I'm glad that I can go again Out Behind the Barn
And do the things that I did then Out Behind the Barn
Now you might think it ain't no fun
To be a poor ole farmers son
You don't know what all I've done Out Behind the Barn
I got my education Out Behind the Barn
and it made a better man out of me
and it almost made a wreck out
